Tatiana Apraxine

Tatiana is an award winning French VR director/creator and real time artist living in London who extensively trained and worked as a theatre practitioner before transitioning to the VR/XR world.

She is deeply fascinated about the potential of VR and XR to alter our sense of presence, consciousness, and to enhance the impact of the age-old art of telling stories. Her work centres on themes such as grief, trauma and embodiment - but is not devoid of playfulness and hope.

Her VR short film ‘The Descent’ won the inaugural Immerse UK Award in the Digital Art and Creative Storytelling category and was long listed for the Lumen Prize 2023 in the Immersive Environment category.

She recently completed a residency with Mediate, supported by Jerwood Arts, and Sage Gateshead, exploring the theme of “Truth and Testimony”.
