What happens when the noise stops? When the screens go dark? When the flood of information that defines our waking life is stripped away and you are left with nothing but a body?
ÅTERFÖDELSEN is a journey inward. You enter through the mouth — overwhelmed, bombarded, drowning in the chaos of the world as it streams toward you. You smash through it. And in the wreckage you find a beating heart.
You step into that heart. You wander around it. Memory fragments, poetry snippets, past, future, desire, longing, nostalgia. Somewhere across, a stranger inside the same heart...
15 minutes. Three acts. One body. The question is not what you see — but what you feel when you come back out.
ÅTERFÖDELSEN is a room-scale XR installation combining virtual reality, spatial audio, haptic technology, and physical environments. The experience is an espresso shot of life in three acts (BIRTH / LOVE / DEATH), unfolding across two connected locations — MUNCH Museum in Oslo and ITU in Copenhagen — where visitors meet as livies and ghosties inside a shared virtual heart.
