'Life is Beautiful. Always.' is a virtual reality exploration into the unique life experience of multi-disciplinary artist, Marcel Schreur; thirty year oral cancer and seven year vascular dementia survivor. Diagnosed by specialists as a medical phenomenon, Schreur has lived most of his adulthood fighting life threatening illnesses.

The work has been developed through an iterative proces of interviews, proto types and personal responses from Schreur, the work generates a space that allows participants to consider aspects of their own mental processes through a lens of difference and disability, to embody some of the physical characteristics of Schreur's condition and to facilitate communication about the experience of living with life-altering disability between sufferers, non-sufferers and medical professionals.
