In 2009, Jasmine Feingold, an Israeli rowing champion, lost consciousness and capsized with her rowing boat in Tel Aviv's Ha’Yarkon River. Despite being submerged underwater for 5 minutes, none of the dozens of nearby bystanders jumped into the water to assist her.
‘Bystanding: The Feingold Syndrome’ is an immersive interactive VR docufiction that recreates the Tel-Aviv riverbank from the summer of 2009. Participants have the opportunity to wander the riverbank, experience the perspective of bystanders, listen to their thoughts, and witness their deepest confessions from that day.
By stepping into the shoes of the bystanders, participants explore the question, “Why didn’t they act?”
