You wake up in a room you don’t remember entering. There’s a clipboard on the desk with your name misspelled, a camera blinking in the corner, and a bitter taste on your tongue that you didn’t choose.

This is the story of what it might have felt like to live — and unravel — as a test subject in Project MK-Ultra: the CIA’s real, declassified program of mind control experiments during the Cold War. In this immersive, second-person sleep video, you’ll follow a fictionalized composite subject through sedatives, sensory deprivation, identity erasure, and chemical obedience.

Calmly narrated and historically grounded, this slow, unnerving story will walk you through the architecture of control — from the fluorescent clinical corridors of American hospitals to the sterilized “treatment rooms” of Canadian institutions.
