About Chronicle of a Fall<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Chronicle of a Fall<\/em>, a feature-length immersive installation, depicts the fragmented, in-transit, experience of a group of immigrant cultural workers primarily from the Middle East and Global South, scattered around the contemporary US. Paying homage to the classic “Chronicle of a Summer,” the project updates the Cinema Verit\u00e9 approach using emerging technologies such as parallel body worn cameras, volumetric capture, and projection mapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the installation are immersed in a pointillized 3D world created from the interconnected fragments of our participants\u2019 shifting domestic spaces as well as the public environments they navigate. Within these semi-abstract, intertwined, and constantly slipping spaces and soundscapes, the viewers encounter close-up videos of intimate conversations and reflections around the central questions of home and migration, love, loss, and longing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
