Les Malheurs de Georges Méliès

Les Malheurs de Georges Méliès shows the ravages of time on a copy of a Georges Méliès film. By isolating and slowing down the most damaged parts of the copy of the film by one of the main inventors of special effects in cinema, I managed to create an object with abstract forms and, insidiously, give a new life to a major work of art.
