conceived by Sharine Rijsenburg in collaboration with Nadine Jongeling, revisits three pioneering games by Muriel Tramis—Mewilo (1987), Freedom: Rebels in the Darkness (1988), and Lost in Time (1993). It explores how colonial histories persist not as complete narratives, but as fragments, echoes, and recurring moments. Across three screens, gameplay footage is interwoven with archival imagery from Martinique and new 3D animation drawn from Tramis’ games. These layers form a shifting landscape where past and present intersect. Motifs, characters, and sounds move fluidly between digital worlds and lived histories, linking Caribbean heritage with diasporic culture.
