This enthralling 360-degree VR work is a lyrical and atmospheric exploration of place and how it can shape your life.
“In Marshall From Detroit, we sought to explore the city impressionistically: Detroit as a memory, a feeling, a dream,” Slain said in a statement. “This lyrical experience offers an unprecedented view into its eponymous giants, with a front-row seat down memory lane alongside Marshall and Sway. We all have a place to call home. And one of life’s great mysteries is the extent to which it shaped us. However, as any local will tell you, Detroit, Michigan is a fantastic location to live.”
