Le temps Perdu’ is an interactive Virtual Reality film that engages a found-film footage archive for the creation of a new, inventive work. Drawing on the history of creation with found footage as a method of compiling films from materials that have not been created by the filmmaker, and changing its meaning by placing it in another context. This process is also called Film Collage, as it is created by juxtaposing found footage from disparate sources; it is best described by Harun Farocki-“One need not look for new, as yet unseen images, but one must work with existing ones in such a way that they become new”. ‘ Le temps Perdu’ is an expansion of my work with experimental narrative formats. I have worked with found footage before and I always find it challenging to create new work with images that were not solely produced by me; thus creating a new, yet, unexpected whole. This project transforms a unique and massive archive of found visual and audio materials that I’ ve been accumulating, mostly 8mm family videos and other beautiful obscurities into VR film where viewers can construct their own film and piece together their particular narratives. Similar to the famous ‘ Choose Your Own Adventure’ books, which serve as the landmark model for interactive story telling, where readers can make their own decisions and construct their individual branched narratives; utilizing an immersive Virtua l Reality experience as the platform base for artistic exploration of story telling with expanded interactivity.
