Synopsis

“You are in two worlds at the same time. Your body is in the other world, but your heart is in this one.” To exist in the virtual world is to have two bodies, four hands, two hearts. Alma, a mysterious guide to this double world, leads you through questions around the climate crisis, irreconcilable realities, and the virtual as a place to take shelter.

Main Creators' Statement

Shadowtime is a new word coined for our age, describing the feeling of occupying two irreconcilable times simultaneously. It is being stuck in a traffic jam on your way to work and realising that the gas in your engine is the compressed mass of prehistoric creatures.
It is scrolling through your phone and remembering that the earth is changing irrevocably. In Shadowtime, we take these temporal incompatibilities and explore them in the realm of virtual reality and simulation theory.
