Am I Real is an immersive installation exploring the liminal stages of life, the unsettling “in-between” moments when one chapter ends and the next has not yet begun. The work unfolded across three rooms: Threshold with fragmented projections and haunting soundscapes, Unraveling with chaotic visuals and disorienting audio, and Letting-go, a serene space offering clarity and hope.
I served as art director, concept developer, and 3D artist. My contributions included creating a projection-mapped door by 3D-scanning and reconstructing it in RealityCapture, then creating the environment, simulations and finally rendering in Karma XPU. Presented at Creativity Rules 2025, the project challenged me with real-world technical constraints that provided invaluable experience.
Additionally, I designed and built an audio-reactive tent for the final stage of the exhibition. The visuals, made in TouchDesigner, responded in real time to sound by Adelheid Eisl, while the sewn structure offered visitors an intimate, immersive space.
