Nox

“Nox” is an autobiographical immersive experiential work that explores trauma, dissociation, and the fragile boundary between existence and disappearance.

Based on the director's own experiences living with complex PTSD, this film transforms mental states such as identity fragmentation, depersonalization, and Alice in Wonderland syndrome into spatial stories and physical interactions.

While being guided by a quiet voice, participants advance through a dreamy world composed of memories, pictures, sounds, and fragments of consciousness born from within the traumatic experience. Hands are distorted, space collapses, perception fluctuates, and the participants' own bodies also become part of a landscape where reality becomes unstable and the self begins to melt.

Through interaction without a controller, the transition between VR and MR, and intimate first-person narration, “Nox” invites participants into the unstable space created by it rather than simply observing trauma from the outside.

In a world shaped by loss, isolation, and dissociation, this work depicts a quiet walk towards beauty, connection with others, and the will to continue living.
