Terrain, the installation created by artist Lily Baldwin, animator Saschka Unseld and filmmaker Kumar Atre, is difficult to describe, which is maybe the point. The audio-visual production is entirely nonverbal, allowing participants to reevaluate the space between the self and the other through our physical––or virtual––bodies. As an alternative to the traditional documentary format, Terrain brings viewers to characters across the globe, using the freedoms of virtual reality to emphasize our interconnectedness in times of isolation.
