TOM House the VR Experience

★ 2021 Kaohsiung Film Festival - XR Panorama       Tom of Finland (1920–91) is arguably the world's most celebrated and influential creator of queer-erotic art. TOM House the VR Experience is a documentary VR-piece that immerses visitors into the legendary Los Angeles residence of Tom, where he lived the last decade of his life. Donning the VR headset, you find yourself standing at the entrance to the Los Angeles residence of homoerotic artist Tom of Finland. Your audio guide on this tour is Durk Dehner, Tom’s partner, who spent 13 years alongside the artist. The main routes of the tour are marked by phallic symbols, and clicking on these will allow you to move to the next viewing point within the house. Pay extra attention to the special buttons within the house - clicking on these will allow you to view specially crafted extended documentaries and animated explanations of the artworks.
