The odyssey of an arachnoid hominid, a phantasmagorical creature born from the fusion of a bi-ped and an arthropod, in five small vignettes from birth to death. When virtual reality explores the apocalyptic future of the human anatomy.
In an X-ray world where creatures have evolved in surprising ways, humans, birds, spiders and frogs share unique anatomies. Based on the animated short film Hominid, this virtual reality work follows in the footsteps of a hominid arachnid, an intelligent creature with half-human, half-spider physiology who fights for its survival and that of its young children. The story is told in five vignettes, from the birth of the children to the death of the mother in the mouth of her prey.
