What happens when words fail and connection is lost? In NOWHERE, you step into the heart of a fascinating 360° world in which four personages each seek connection in their own way. A compelling VR experience that makes you reflect on what brings us together and what we feel when that connection is lost.

Is there such a thing as an experience you can’t share? A feeling that words just can’t capture? And if so, how does that affect us? NERGENS takes place af on the border between reality and imagination. As a visitor, you find yourself in the middle of a panorama. In this world, you follow four personages , each of whom deals with a lack of connection in their own way. The space closes in around you in four parts, so that the different perspectives of these people come together to form a whole.

The story is structured like a palindrome—a word that can be read in both directions. Literally, “palin” means “again” and “dromos” means “to walk.” In NERGENS , the “ personages ” move between memory and dream, between change and staying the same. Time and again, they find themselves back at the same point: an in-between space where a sense of loss becomes visible.

NERGENS is an invitation to reflect on what connects us and what our “ mist ” lack in terms of connection.

  • For everyone ages 12 and up
  • Total duration of the experience: 60 minutes
  • VR film runtime: 30 minutes

They are four completely different worlds, and yet it feels as if they belong to the same universe.
