Expozitia Found Footage prezinta rezultatele finale a atelierului care
sa axat pe re-folosirea materialelor vizuale arhivate, a esteticii
aproprierii, sampling-ului, deturnarii si transferului limbajului
cinematic in forma digitala. Atelierul a constat dintr-o serie de
expuneri teoretice, proiectii de filme si ateliere de lucru asistate
(selectia surselor de arhiva, transferuri analog-digital, montaj) si a
creat o posibilitate in facilitarea schimbului inter-cultural dintre
artistii din Moldova, artisti regionali din tarile balcanice, si
expertii care au fost invitati sa conduca atelierele.

Expozitia prezinta publicului un numar de filme realizate de
participanti la atelier care arata spiritul critic si angajat fata de
conditia actuala a societatilor post-sovietice (ale fostei URSS) si
post-socialiste. Artistii au fost interesati sa transpuna in filmele
lor mijloacele re-folosirii esteticii cinematice si tehnologiilor
digitale pentru a explora si comenta pe marginea fenomenului de
gol/ruptura/continuitate - in procesul deconstructiei unui sistem
(socialist) si inlocuirii cu altul (neo-liberal).
