Everyday Vrealities

Everyday VRealities (2022) is a virtual reality documentary about different kinds of homes and families. The viewer can witness everyday scenes unfolding across a range of households, and move freely from home to home. The experience is like an open-world game, except that everything around you is real. The film has no traditional narrative or conclusion — most viewers tend to watch for around 10–12 minutes.

Much of my work examines what home is, what family is, and what elements are needed for both to take shape. I have been especially drawn to the everyday — even the mundane — which I find deeply fascinating and surprisingly underdocumented. With this piece, I wanted to understand what makes a home, which elements are shared across many different lives, and how homes vary from culture to culture.
