Fisheye will be presented as an immersive documentary using virtual reality as an empathetic interface, plunging the viewer into the skin of a fish, from its life as a wild animal to its destiny as a consumer product, through all the phases of its conditioning and then its disappearance. With no commentary or interviews, this immersive device will offer an extreme, almost hypnotic experience, inviting the viewer on an introspective, meditative journey.
