Ito Meikyu is an audio-visual abstract poem in virtual reality that draws on the history of Japanese art and literature (Fukinuki Yatai, The Tale of Genji, The Pillow Book) and unfolds like a large sensory fresco woven from the threads of the everyday life. A diverse set of cartoon, animation and sound scenes weave together to create a kind of subjective world in the form of a labyrinth inhabited by plants, objects, animals, men, women, and life's various motifs. Boris Labbé has created a labyrinth space based on the randomness of our choices - a kind of hide-and-seek game with the universe, with an omniscient viewer at its center. The project won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival in 2024.
