touch xrtheraπ

touch xrtheraπ are a series of five panoramic films made by Konrad Mihat.

They contain meditations, thoughts and information related and performed by the participants in the "The curative-performative values ​​of touch" residency, developed by the Entuziart Association.

The series was made with an intention that viewers act out in simple gestures the presented meditations in real life, and continues on previous collaborative works by Konrad Mihat and Entuziart, that bridge immersive 360 films and real life through presentation scenography, or external actions on or by the viewer.
