These films take photographic material as their starting point: from public and private collections and archives, old negatives rescued from a recycling plant, or from the thousands of images stored on internet platforms and databases. The authors of these films explore the photographic material by developing filmic methods and strategies for appropriating, accessing and scrutinizing them, thereby returning them to the surface of visibility. They re-localize the positions of the photographers, and arrange the images chronologically on the basis of movement sequences or texts, searching for a lost time. By means of an adjoining, superimposing and sequential (flooding) of images, personal and subversive re-interpretations of the material are created.
