Inanna on the Meathook

by Rory Willats

A meditation framed by the ancient Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld.

Viewers are introduced to the myth as they watch an avatarized image of themselves on a screen that hangs from a 27’ pendulum. In front of them, a Virtual Reality headset sits on a podium.

The VR headset streams a live, 360-degree, stereoscopic video from the avatar's point of view looking back at the viewer.
