Immemory offers the possibility of journeying into the past
of a person who appears on the CD-ROM as »I«. The starting
points of the different journies that the visitor may selet in the
memory archive are: Cinema, Travels, Museum, Remembrance and Memory.
These are topics which Chris Marker has often dealt with in his
various films, photography books and installations. These trips
guide visitors to a variety of never previously published images,
texts and photographs such as documentation of his travels to Japan
or Korea, or his thoughts on Hitchcock's film Vertigo. The
paths branching out at different points make transitions possible
between seven subject areas and different »zones«. A
CD-ROM is an ideal medium for a memory archive and on this CD-ROM,
it is possible to explore memories on different paths and see them
in different contexts. Thus, the process of remembrance unveils
itself as a process of continuous re-writing and re-interpretation
of memory content.
