BEING IN YOU
What remains of us after we die? Being In You is a mixed-reality documentary created with musician and geologist Cat Janice, before and after she passed away. The project reverses
embodiment: instead of you stepping into her world, Cat asks whether she can step into yours, into your senses, your imagination, even your body’s movements.
If you smile now, I will be in your smile.
A tender duet between the living and the no-longerliving, an intimate encounter with the digital afterlife, holding someone’s echo of existence.
