I Look For Them
A VR experience that invites embodied, intimate and emotional contact with the memories of Ivanna Maszczak,
a Ukrainian and survivor of the Soviet Gulag. Narrated by Ivanna herself, the work is inspired by anecdotes told of her journey across Russia and Siberia in 1949. Participants are invited to explore the virtual space, accessing scenes that are inspired by moments in her journey across Siberia to the Gulag camp at Magadan; a period of interrogation, transportation via train into the unknown, brief pauses in her journey at one of the many transit camps in which she was held, a dangerous voyage across the Sea of Okhostsk, and finally arriving at the endless expanse of snow on the shores of Magadan.
