The Exploding Girl VR

The Exploding Girl VR

Eat, sleep, EXPLODE, repeat. Candice has exploded 192 times – and counting. In this blood-spattered, bodily VR experience, you are front row to her repeated acts of self-destruction. The result is a graphic and singular social critique, steeped in gaming aesthetics. It raises questions about how to cope with anxiety, and how to hit the brakes and reset ourselves in a relentlessly demanding 24/7 society. A visceral visual blast.
