Description
In this interactive narration, Mary, the protagonist is in a mental hospital. The story is divided in different parts, which follow each other in a random way. There are five pathways, but they can be combined between every sequence.
Mary is never seen on the screen, but one hears her voice, talking to herself, remembering parts of her life. Her voice seems to be far away, sad and empty, without any emotions.
The project is a result of one semester at SCA, Sydney, supported through a NICA scholarship. The unique architecture of the former mental hospital which was turned into an art-school served as inspiration, together with stories from the local news.
