Tara Baoth Mooney: Artist's breast cancer experience inspires VR project
A still from Tara Baoth Mooney's Mammary Mountain.
Tara Baoth Mooney’s experience of breast cancer was the inspiration for Mammary Mountain, a 23-minute virtual reality project that launches this week (August 28th) at the Venice Immersive, the Extended Reality section of the 81st Venice International Film Festival.
Mooney’s treatment for her condition has been successful. “But at the same time, the experience changes you completely,” she says. “It's probably going to be a good while before I die, but it's not as remote an idea as it would have been before. It's very much now in its place within the timeline of my living. My intention now is to live as well as I can for as long as I can.”
