Filmscape, an interactive video triptych in shockwave, composed of "Digging," "Travelling" (with Jean-Jacques Birge's music), and "Waiting," is a formal research. The purpose is to let the eye explore a short film extract as if it were a landscape, allowing the imagination to travel. Each piece is a endless loop which you can zoom through.
By moving the scene from one corner to another, the viewer can launch narrative (visual and sound) elements which give different interpretations of the scene. Ultimately, Filmscape recasts found footage in a different light, giving it a second "life."
