A female soldier watches over an endless desert, waiting for the Tatar barbarians — enemies no one has seen for centuries. One night, in a lucid dream, she finally meets them. They are nothing like she imagined.
Presented at NewImages Festival as a work in progress, the project was developed through the 2025 XR Farnese-Medici Residency, a programme by NewImages, the Institut Français d’Italie and the Académie de France à Rome – Villa Médicis supporting France-based XR creators in prototyping immersive works between France and Italy.
