Can a living person dream of ghosts’ dreams if a ghost can dream? This VR work unveils an unknown refugee camp in Indochina and a dream within another dream. The story’s protagonists are three siblings: Dung, Lien, and Phuong, during wartime in Indochina in the 1970s. They are Vietnamese born in Cambodia. This project is adapted from the unknown Vietnamese refugee camps in Penghu, Taiwan, and from a dream of an unidentified female victim in the Khmer Rouge period.
