PANORAMIC IMMERSIVE CINEMA · IN PRODUCTION

When the truth is buried underground, the viewer becomes the investigator.

On the eve of Wu Zetian’s enthronement, a subterranean divine pagoda catches fire and its craftsmen perish. Detective Di Renjie and court official Wu Chang-an are ordered to investigate. Their trail leads through the Ghost Market and into the underground palace, where an old blood debt and a greater catastrophe await. A first-person immersive viewpoint places the audience inside a Divine Capital in constant transformation.

FORM

Panoramic immersive cinema

Spatial moving image and a first-person viewpoint shape an enterable narrative.

WORLD

The Divine Capital and seven subterranean pagodas

Historical imagination, supernatural narrative, and the memory of grotto images converge.

THEMES

Facelessness, image-making, and memory

The work asks how power and faith shape images—and obscure individual memory.
