Inspired by Asking a Shadow to Dance, a 3-channel video installation featured in In Search of Vera Molnár, this workshop invites participants to explore immersive sensory universes through virtual reality headsets. Participants wearing the headsets will convey the distinct universes they see using limited words and dance movements. In contrast, the remaining participants will interpret these descriptions and transform them into lines on paper.

About OyunMu
Founded by architect Merih Bengisu Yiğit, OyunMu is a collective focused on creating game-based projects with a team of ten people from different disciplines.

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
Józef Brandt harboured a fascination for the history of 17th century Poland, and his favourite themes included ballistic scenes and genre scenes before and after the battle proper –all and sundry marches, returns, supply trains, billets and encampments, patrols, and similar motifs illustrating the drudgery of warfare outside of its culminating moments.
