EXPERIENCE 'HUSH VR' IN EXHIBITION AT NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL

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.
