Fabian Lehmann & Filip Krause
Miner, 2017
VR experience for HTC Vive
The core work of a miner as well as for a shaman is rooted in transportation of energy, whether through hard physical work in substantially inhuman conditions or through rituals, eternal repetition of symbols, gestures and rhythms. The work Steiger opens up a horizon of experiences in which these seemingly different disciplines reveal their similarities.
Character Design: Malte Dittmann

Narrators: Luise Schubert, Mirko Jugelt
This work was developed as part of the THIS IS FAKE exhibition at Schacht Dölitz (former underground mine for brown coal) in Leipzig in 2017. Four site specific VR experiences were displayed in the loading bay of a shut down coal mine which is now being transformed into a place for art and cultural projects by its owners.
