LATE LOVE PRODUCTION
The Hangman at Home - VR
A VR project based on the Carl Sandburg poem of the same title
"What does the hangman think about when he goes home at night from work?"
​
«The Hangman at Home» is an animated VR experience exploring themes surrounding acknowledgement and the awkward intimacy of humanness. Told in five interwoven stories; each situation presents a person, or persons in a delicate moment: fragile, playful, terrified, contemplated, confused, curious…
We are all very much alike in these moments - alerting us to question our own responsibility and responses.
​
The project is based on Carl Sandburg's poem The Hangman at Home, from the collection "Smoke & Steel" (1922)
