Dani Ploeger’s Powerful XR Installation Takes Viewers to the Virtual Frontline of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict

Dani Ploeger’s XR installation Line of Contact (2017-22) premieres at the British Film Institute (BFI) within the London Film Festival’s Expanded program. Reprocessing 360° video footage of Ukrainian frontline soldiers waiting for combat that the Dutch artist and activist recorded in 2017, the work captures a “lasting situation of solidified dread.” The tension is amplified by a soundscape triggered by the viewers’ eye movement—“violence could erupt at any time.”
