Since 2018, the Immersive Pavilion has been a space dedicated to the intersection of technology, art and storytelling. In collaboration with the Lux Film Fest, the Pavilion hosts the Best Immersive Experience competition, honoring the best work presented at this year’s exhibition, aiming to introduce audiences to the latest developments in immersive technologies.
In collaboration with Mudam, this years’ Immersive Pavilion brings together two distinct artistic visions from Taiwan, a pioneering force in virtual reality (VR) and immersive storytelling. Presenting in Luxembourg The CloudsAre Two Thousand Metres Up by Taiwanese filmmaker Singing Chen, alongside Just for You, a trilogy of VR works by Taipei-based artist Craig Quintero, the exhibition invites visitors to explore intimate spaces where memory, myth and perception unfold.
In The Clouds Are Two Thousand Metres Up, Singing Chen offers a meditation on grief, ecological fragility and ancestral imagination. Following a man who receives the unfinished novel of his late wife, the work blends fiction with spiritual quest, guiding the viewer through Taiwan’s mountainous landscapes and the subconscious terrain of mourning. Interweaving the endangered clouded leopard with the origin myth of the Rukai people, one of Taiwan’s Indigenous communities, the piece explores the porous boundaries between the living and the dead, as well as between human narratives and the natural world.
Just for You brings together three major works by Craig Quintero, a long-standing Pavilion artist with an international profile. His trilogy — All That Remains, A Simple Silence and Over the Rainbow – stages a theatre of the subconscious, in which viewers encounter meticulously composed tableaux poised between tenderness, strangeness and revelation. Rooted in his collaboration with Riverbed Theatre in Taipei, Quintero’s VR works createsilent confrontations with vulnerability, desire and the unsettling intimacy of being seen.
Organised by Film Fund Luxembourg and PHI Montréal as part of the Luxembourg City Film Festival, the Pavilion presents The Clouds Are Two Thousand Metres Up in competition for the Best Immersive Work Award.Together, Chen and Quintero’s installations form a constellation of introspective worlds, inviting visitors into spaces where personal memory and collective imagination converge.
The Immersive Pavilion 2026 runs from 5 to 22 March at Neimënster, Mudam and the Villa Louvigny.
