Synopsis
What would you do when your home appears to be in danger? Would you stay or leave? Each day, since the beginning of the war, millions of Ukrainians are asking themselves this question. Fragile Home is an immersive experience in mixed reality that poses this question to each of us. Through the medium of mixed reality, you can experience the gradual transformation of your familiar surroundings into the dwelling of a Ukrainian family, spanning from the peaceful beginning of the past to the tumultuous present. As you navigate through your space, the voices of Ukrainian people in traditional melodies accompany you, guiding you under the roof of your very own memories and feelings associated with your home.
