This paper reports on work being done as part of Disappearance, the fourth interdisciplinary practice-led research project conceptualised within the Research niche Visual Narratives and Creative Outputs through Interdisciplinary and Practice-led Research (ViNCO) at the North-West University, Potchefstroom campus (Chan & Pretorius, 2016).

The project’s roots lie in the relationships between man and nature and the respective power position of man in this relationship. Using the theory of anthropocentrism, that sees mankind as the central and most significant entities in the world (Boslaugh, 2016), as a starting point, the project aims to explore how this relationship plays out within the context of poaching and human trafficking.

This paper will only focus on the design of an immersive artistic experience to create awareness about human trafficking as a sub-project within the larger Disappearance project.
