Abstract
“The Time that Remains” is an academic-developed IDoc that narrates the tensions and challenges confronted by the neighborhood El Aguilucho in Santiago de Chile, a community with a strong history and identity, confronting the pressures of urban development and economic insecurity. This interactive documentary explores the expressive and narrative potential of diverse artistic and digital media (photo collage, illustration, video, and sound). These media are used as modes of both, representing a territory, and creating an interactive experience that allows the user to engage with its particularities through wandering and proximity. “The Time that Remains” proposes the representation, over the course of a day, of a street in which relevant social and cultural identity issues converge. Through the use of photo collage as media, we seek to combine different spaces and diverse documentary and narrative elements, in one place. This is emphasized by involving the user in active time experience, by choosing trails, places, and stories, along three moments of the day (morning, afternoon, night). The research and production process of this project explores collaborative methodologies with the community organized in a guild, a board of neighbors and residents, with the purpose of extending the limits of documentary as a tool of social participation and collaborative expression.
