  • ★ 2026 Festival de Cannes Immersive Competition Best Immersive Work

Synopsis

Katabasis guides you into the city’s hidden veins – spaces known by people rarely seen: unhoused souls, unseen laborers, abyssal poets, seekers of the invisible. Ugo Arsac amplifies their raw, intimate voices, creating an immersive journey where poetic evocation and documentary truth intertwine – a story of escape, longing, and the urgent necessity to exist.

Drawing from the myth of "katabasis" – the descent into the underworld – this project reveals New York’s shadowed terrains: beneath its urban frenzy lies a network of shelters, tunnels, waterworks and hidden corridors.
