We are very excited to announce that Vibeke Bryld’s VR experience ‘Hush’ (Danish title: ‘Havfolket Kalder Mørknet Vand’) will open as an installation at Vorupør Museum in Thy, Northern Jutland, on Saturday May 22, 2021. The exhibition will run until August 22.

Vorupør Museum is located in the same town, and on the same beach, that features prominently in the VR piece, so we are very happy that ‘Hush’ is coming home!

Hush’ was exhibited as an installation for two months at Nikolaj Art Centre in Copenhagen in 2020, and the exhibition in Vorupør will use some of the same elements, but will also be a site-specific installation, shaped by the building it will inhabit.

Due to the current and ongoing covid-19 pandemic, measures will be taken to ensure a safe VR experience, including nano-cleansing of the headset between each user.

EXPERIENCE 'HUSH VR' IN EXHIBITION AT NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL by Maria Kristensen

We are very happy to announce that Hush VR by Vibeke Bryld is opening as an exhibition in Nikolaj Kunsthal from October 9 until December 6 2020. The installation is a collaboration with visual artist Elin Maria Johansson.

Hush is an immersive virtual reality experience rooted in the northern myths of the merpeople, who lured sailors and longing souls to the sea. The piece submerges you into an underwater world, where the distinction between reality and imagination, man and nature, disappears. Hush was selected for the VR competition of the Venice Film Festival 2020. This is the first time the work is presented as a total installation.

Hush is a stand-alone VR piece, but it is also a companion piece to the hybrid documentary film Thyland, also directed by Vibeke Bryld, which is based in the same universe as Hush, and is currently in postproduction.
