A documentary VR Experience that immerses you into the world of Tom of Finland.

Tom of Finland (1920—1991) is undoubtedly the world’s most celebrated and influential creator of queer-erotic art. TOM House – The VR Experience is a documentary virtual reality piece that immerses visitors into the legendary Los Angeles residence of Tom, where he lived over the last decade of his life. The VR-piece features three thematic tours around the house and a virtual art gallery, which presents Tom’s work as an experience like never before.

TOM House – The VR Experience is part of the Tom of Finland exhibition organized by Kiasma 28.4.—29.10.2023

The piece has been touring the film and immersive festival circuit in Brazil, Taiwan, Netherlands, Greece and beyond.
