Unlit Horizon is a cinematic VR experience based on choreography by Markéta Kuttnerová. It unfolds within an abstractly rendered world where two characters continuously emerge, dissolve, and recombine—interweaving biological and mechanical elements. Set on a fictional planetoid, their movement unfolds through a sequence of chain-linked images, creating a fluid sense of spatial transition.

The VR adaptation draws on this distinctive movement language—far removed from conventional representations of the human body—and extends it into a speculative exploration of escapism and space travel within a contemporary socio-political context.

Through a VR headset, the audience is placed in close proximity to the performers, invited to experience a poetic and physical interpretation of the choreography from within the space itself.

Unlit Horizon premiered as part of the eponymous exhibition alongside Dust at SmetanaQ Gallery, Prague, in March 2018.
