BEYOND THE TYPHOON by Encor

Beyond the typhoon is a global project.
A dialog between documentary photography, music and virtual reality.

Official selection 2017 World VR Forum.
Official selection 2017 VR DAYS.
Official selection 2017 Church of VR.
Official selection 2018 Mirage Festival.

The project was spawned during our residency in late 2016 on the Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, China.
This island is a major domestic tourism destination.
Two weeks prior to our visit, this fairy tale location was destroyed by the typhoon Meranti.
Meranti opened a breach for exploration through its supernatural forces.

This Natural reserve, filled with its ancestral trees, surrounding post colonial mansions bore witness of a brutal mutation into a post apocalyptic landscape.

BEYOND THE TYPHOON – THE VR EXPERIENCE

Through this VR experience and audiovisual installation, we propose our interpretation of this new world. The typhoon became a portal allowing us to access this alternative reality.
