VESAK

V E S A K

A TECHNO-BUDDHIST FUTURE

On the day of Vesak, the biggest Buddhist festival in South and Southeast Asia, a monk carries out annual prayer rites at the Quantum Temple. Artifacts that belong to the past and foretell the future swirl overhead in a hyper-fictional topography made up of hill fort homes, geodesic monuments, haunting projections, and gigantic fish.

Vesak may be a real festival where millions of people around the world celebrate the birth of Buddha, but director Ina Chen has grafted its reverence and animism onto a game-driven world that shifts between fiction and reality.
