Synopsis
This VR experience asks the question: “What is a positive interaction in a virtual space?” In Otawamure, you can experience many kinds of fantastical interactions that are impossible in the real world.

In addition to making short films, she is also involved in the production of music videos, advertisements, and films for installations.
