‘Diving Into the future’ consists of three spaces.

First, the entrance tunnel or “time tunnel”. An octagonal passage made of copper pipes and wrapped with colourful strings that play with perceptions and sense of movement. In the background, a singular mirror seems to swallow us into it...

The last space is a small and dark room where all we can find is four VR stations. Fluorescent strips on the floor and walls delimit the space but we do not need any more elements; the true experience takes place in our mind, through the VR glasses, and into the future....
