A passenger found himself being trapped inside a game of gods.

“LIMBOTOPIA in DOME” is a new storytelling from the award-winning VR project “LIMBOPTOPIA”.

“LIMBOPTOPIA” refers to an imagined world where time seems to stand still: a static and often hopeless present, suspended between the poles of utopia and dystopia. After an environmental crisis in contemporary Taiwan, participants become passengers journeying through one such monochromatic eternity, submerged in phantasmagorical animations merging the microscopic and the monumental.

Premiering at Tribeca 2022. Hsieh’s fully immersive 360-degree VR experience seems to defy the laws of gravity and perspective. Hypnotic imagery and an atmospheric electronic soundscape conjure a liminal space between dream and nightmare, between abstraction and annihilation. The result is eerie, innovative and utterly spellbinding.

The VR360 has been selected by TRIBECA 2022, MIFF 2023, and won the first prize in Anifilm 2022.
DOME version was selected by FilmGate 2023, SAT 2024, and MIFF 2024.
