Director Statement

This is a totally independent project, which we did in 2019, the choice of interactivity came not only to show something new but also to find new ways to stuck the public. After that all came the need for how to show it in a simple and easy way. We found the "EKO" platform, which supports interactive projects, and from then on we started to understand how our project would work.
