A Hunger Artist (2024)

TOUCHDESIGNER• AFTEREFFECT • QLAB




An immersive theater experience that re-imagined Kafka’s seminal short story about an artist who fasts in a cage. Set in an online streaming world, interactions between the virtual and reality were translated into various visual metaphors on stage with projection, which also transformed to reflect the hunger artist's search for his real value that he could insist on in that world.
