People are choosing virtual worlds over real life
A photographer’s look into the lives of two transgender friends who found each other on VRChat, a VR platform that allows them to be their true selves.
They go by Silent and Radar. The two transgender friends spend most of their time on the virtual reality platform where they met: VRChat. This growing community of about 70,000 people is a space where they can explore their identities and overcome boundaries — whether it’s borders or language. Inside the 10-year-old software, they have created an environment of limitless, fast-paced creative expression. I spent several months working with Silent and Radar, their chosen avatar names, to uncover the intricacies of their peculiar digital lives.
Thanks for sharing.
