Address Unknown is an immersive VR documentary series which explores disasters and the lasting impact they have on homes and communities across different distinct cultures: Fukushima in Japan, Orchid Island in Taiwan and other places across South East Asia. Using VR, this project transports viewers to meet the communities and people who have weathered the storm of disaster, and explore how they survived in the aftermath of trauma.

 

The first part of the Address Unknown series takes audiences to the heart of Fukushima to meet the survivors living in the shadow of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear spill crisis today. Using volumetric capture & photogrammetry technology, the project transports viewers into an experience that explores the disaster and the lasting impact it's had on communities and the environment. We reveal how a community endures in the aftermath of trauma and recalls memories of homes they can longer return to.

In the summer afternoon, the family gathers at the old house. They surround grandma to show their love, even though she's no longer able to move, react or hear clearly. As people come and go, the television keeps replaying and the fan is still running in the peaceful old house, where the grandma and her maid live.
