​​Qualia: the properties of experience, and experiences, referred to as being phenomenally conscious

​“Qualia - You Matter to Me” is a film for immersive cinematic installation about our longing for connection, through consciousness, nature, symbolism, and hope. 

The gaze is a visual poem, gravitational Qualia: a raw feel, anxiety shaped into surrealism, mythology, a nightmare turned fantasy, spontaneous solidarity, feelings of solitude, suspension, an embrace, the beginning of a smile, a hand falling and rising again, time and the fates symbolizing the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future in the tapestry of life.

“Qualia” is a sensory journey where the line is blurred between the physical and the digital world, between the real and the imaginary.  

Conceived as an immersive projection mapping design using cinematographic language and interactive dramaturgy, “Qualia” explores concepts of mental states, symbolism, and hope, creating a story that unfolds across a series of immersive scenarios drawing from the body, faces, urban patterns, nature and remains of activity. Underneath these mirrored imageries lie many stories about limits, freedom and self-perception.​
