Yugen - A multi perspective virtual exhibition on the influence of contradictory perspectives

A virtual exhibition featuring four vignettes telling the story of how a certain group of friends met and are then later reunited to recall their story. Each vignette, with a duration of 2-3 minutes, will screen a different perspective of each member's recollection about their first meeting. Each of the four vignettes will be heavily influenced by each group members' favorite musical genres along with selected films to mirror these musical themes. The project will utilize 4 different film genres and each vignette will have their own distinctive color grade, cinematography, and musical score to compliment the characters’ personality and perspective. The exhibit is non-linear, giving viewers the freedom to explore the vignettes in any order they choose. The non-linear vignettes will be able to tell a single, cohesive story, but still preserve the freedom to view a single character’s perspective without taking away from the experience. This approach allows each visitor to craft their own narrative timeline, enhancing their engagement and investment in the experience. This will be achieved in the set up of the exhibition with each vignette displayed on individual screens in order to allow each vignette to be played simultaneously. There will be a total of four different screens that will play one of the four vignettes and will be displayed to allow multiple people to experience the exhibition. The overall goal is to create a unique viewing experience that showcases the creativity and technical skills of the team through unique visual storytelling techniques.
