A mother and son revisit the medical emergency that reshaped their lives, and the remarkable fragments that remain of that time, in this intimate blend of virtual reality and performance film. As Mine Exactly is a half-hour performance for an audience of one, by documentary filmmaker Charlie Shackleton. Combining desktop documentary, audio reenactment and consumer VR technologies, the piece deploys seemingly clinical techniques in the service of what Little White Lies called a ‘profoundly moving [invitation] to the viewer to experience a new form of intimacy’.
