Father’s Video Tapes is a three-part narrative that brings the viewers from real space to VR spaces and back, giving the audience an immersive experience through bodily interactivity. It speaks to the LGBT community forgotten by history in Taiwan, drawing a comparison between the gay people living today and those who suffered and struggled in the past.

Baboo LIAO
Baboo LIAO is a theater director. He is known for works in theater, art galleries and unconventional spaces. Since his theater directing debut in 1997, he has directed some thirty productions, and has been invited to perform in New York, Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen, Avignon, and Seoul. His VR work Chroma: A Derek Jarman Project was shortlisted for Taiwan’s Taishin Arts Award. The nominating committee speaks of it as “a pioneering work of sound technology, which reconstructs the sexual identity of Jarman; it also provides the post-human with a possible solution to the predicament in the face of the pandemic.”
