Le Temps Perdu
An interactive VR film by Zohar Kfir
Le Temps Perdu is an interactive Virtual Reality film that engages a found-film footage archive for the creation of a new, inventive work.
This project transforms a unique and massive archive of found visual and audio materials that into an interactive Virtual Reality 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.
