What I like about found elements is that they have been taken or are being taken from an earlier context – they already have a narrative trajectory, albeit broken. I find this notion of a broken or interrupted narrative trajectory is a powerful reflection of the ways of the world, where almost all stories start in the middle and end in another middle. Even in my digital works, I aspire to include found materials. For example in my VR installation “articulated subtext”, I suggest that the alphabet is the found source for the work. And my fundamentally digital films are 3d collages deploying multiple found analog and digital sources.
