Luke Worthy ‘In the Mist’ commissioned poem

Congratulations to Hive poet Luke Worthy, whose commissioned poem ‘square moon; little raft’, responding to ‘In the Mist’, a VR film experience by Chou Tung-Yen, is currently being exhibited alongside the film at Eye Filmmuseum Amsterdam [July 16-18]. 

The film is part of the ‘Architectures of Intimacy’ program curated by Kato van der Speeten, which explores intimate and shared spaces. This VR film, a production of 狠主流 & 狠劇場 VM Studio & Very Theatre, premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2021.

The programme, curated by Kato van der Speeten, focuses on the ephemeral connections and fleeting encounters that occur in spaces like taxis, public bathrooms, and other shared environments, which resonates with the themes of “In the Mist”.

In the Mist is a ‘Dreamlike, poetic virtual reality experience, set in a gay sauna. In a dimly lit room filled with mist, blurred figures of men emerge, desiring intimacy yet caught in moments of solitude.
