| dc.description.abstract | Viewers are invited into a dialog with the interactive book " la_ alma." Montage imagery of ticking machines, microfiche, obsolete handwriting, and the palimpsestual nature of former East Berlin, all reveal a lost time in the life of a woman who has nearly forgotten language. The viewer is invited to touch the book where they may begin the process of retrieving a random narrative. The linear narration describes that speaking with Alma was like "jumping through a word search for remember." Over 100 small movie clips were produced based on 80 found family letters and documents from 1860s-1880s Berlin to Brooklyn. This 8 min. example is a few movies in la_alma's archive. Voice over by Aliyah Baruchin, piano by Carole Swaim and production assistance by Gilles Alliume and Tom DeMeyer who programmed Imag/ine at STEIM, Amsterdam. | |
