🏳️‍🌈As part of ***rEast Festival, Taiwanese filmmaker/artist Chou Tung-Yen brings two works from his award-winning “Trilogy of Mist” to Fierce Festival 2026 in Birmingham: In the Mist and Traversing the Mist.🌫️

🧖Set within a surreal gay sauna, both VR works explore desire, intimacy, memory and connection. 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘵 (2020) invites audiences into a solitary journey through shifting spaces of gaze and recognition, while 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘵 (2024) expands the experience into a shared virtual world, where participants inhabit identical avatars and encounter one another through a landscape shaped by longing and intimacy.🖤

Together, the works ask how virtual space can create new forms of human encounter, and how technology might reshape the ways we see ourselves and one another.😶‍🌫️

🏳️‍🌈 Q***r East Festival 𝗫 Fierce Festival 2026 台灣藝術家 #周東彥 「霧中三部曲」登上英國藝術節🌫️

作為英國亞洲酷兒藝術節的一環,台灣新媒體藝術家周東彥將於伯明罕 Fierce Festival 2026 帶來《霧中三部曲》中的兩件作品:《霧中》(2020) 與《穿越霧中》(2024)🌈

🧖兩件 VR 作品皆以超現實的男同志三溫暖為場景,探索慾望、親密、記憶與人與人之間的連結。《霧中》讓觀眾獨自穿梭於霧氣瀰漫的空間,在凝視與被凝視、存在與缺席之間游移;《穿越霧中》則進一步將體驗轉化為共同的虛擬旅程,讓參與者以相同的虛擬角色進入同一個世界,在慾望與親密交織的空間中彼此相遇🖤兩件作品共同探索虛擬空間如何創造新的相遇形式,以及科技如何重新形塑我們觀看自己與他人的方式😶‍🌫️

Taiwan's Riverbed Theatre brings its to the VR cinema at Wales Millennium Centre.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Comprising All That Remains, Over the Rainbow and A Simple Silence, the trilogy invites audiences on an immersive journey into a surreal space where memory, death and desire intertwine.👓

😳We take comfort in the things we know to be “true” — the sun rises in the east, a day has 24 hours, and we exist. But this trilogy ventures beyond these familiar patterns, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality and opening up new possibilities of perception and experience. ✨

🌌台灣 #河床劇團 獲獎作品「開房間三部曲」將於 Cardiff 威爾斯千禧中心VR影院放映!

👓作品包含《遺留》、《彩虹彼端》與《寂靜》,帶領觀眾展開一場沉浸式旅程,探索記憶、死亡與慾望交織的超現實邊界😳 我們習慣相信那些熟悉且「真實」的事物:太陽從東方升起、一天有24小時、我確實存在。但這三部曲作品將邀請觀眾跨越這些日常認知,在夢境與現實的模糊邊界中,探索另一種可能存在的世界✨
