Narrative Virtual Reality Experience


BELONGINGS


A SPECULATIVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY

and work in progress







"Belongings by Carol Silverman (United States) is a Virtual Reality 6DoF
immersive piece which is historical fiction rooted in biography. The story of a
young girl sent to a Nazi internment camp and later brought to safety is told
through a narrative triggered by interactions with personal objects. Items are
picked up, held close, and experienced. The story deeply resonates, built piece
by piece through intimate artifacts, while the environment shifts forward in
time. "

IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY ACROSS THE WORLD, SURVIVORS ARE LEFT WITH THE POSSESSIONS
OF A LOVED ONE WHO HAS PASSED AWAY. AND THEN WHAT? GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY? SELL
WHAT YOU CAN? DONATE? RECYCLE? LANDFILL? KEEP IT FOREVER? HOW TO DEAL WITH A
LIFETIME OF OBJECTS? WHAT IF SORTING THROUGH THOSE THINGS REVEALED A PERSON
DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE YOU KNEW? YOU CAN NEVER ASK THEM WHY THEY KEPT THESE
SECRETS. MAYBE THERE IS NO ONE LEFT WHO CAN TELL THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED. ALL
AT ONCE, YOU HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING YOU DIDN’T KNOW AND CAN NEVER NOW
UNDERSTAND. I MADE “BELONGINGS” AS A WAY TO WORK THROUGH THE POSTHUMOUS MYSTERY
OF MY MOTHER, WHO WAS DEPORTED BY THE NAZIS AS A JEW BUT OWNED A BOOK CALLED
“KEEP A TRUE LENT” FROM 1953. AMONG HER THINGS, I FOUND A SILVER FILIGREE SIX
POINTED STAR NECKLACE AND A TINY STATUETTE OF A PRAYING MARY SHE HAD KEPT BY HER
BED. SHE WAS MY CLOSEST RELATIONSHIP IN LIFE. I THOUGHT I KNEW HER.

ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

Belongings is an immersive memory box that uses the medium of virtual reality to
bring an embodied immediacy to one woman’s life story. The viewer interacts with
her personal photographs, documents, artwork, and possessions in an intimate
space where time present and time past coexist in an interactive biography.



A young girl, torn from her home at twelve and sent to an internment camp,
fortunately rescued by her uncle and brought to safety. A mother of two who
never spoke of her own childhood. A prolific artist working across mediums who
produced ceramic and textile art, works on paper, and paintings, from the quirky
and charming to the serious and sophisticated over twenty-five years of
practice. A woman who disappeared slowly into dementia in her sixties. Ellen
Rauh was all of these women. She had kept her traumatic childhood in 1930s
Germany a secret so well that her own children only learned of it when they
found a hidden box of photos and documents after her death. It revealed the
barest outline of her fourteen month journey to New York from the Baden region
of Germany after all the Jews there were expelled over four days in October of
1940. The bombshell discovery left them with more questions than answers, a
mystery no one could help them solve now that the woman who had lived it was
gone. All they had were their memories of the mother they loved and thought they
knew and the things she left behind. Her belongings became their road map to
filling in the blanks of her life.

ARTIST BIO

Carol Silverman is a storyteller at the intersection of material culture and
technology. Her work centers on the narrative power of objects. She believes
that if we take a moment to listen, the worn, used, tactile things around us
will tell us much about ourselves. Carol thinks of her day job as a decorator of
sets for film and television as an object-based storytelling lab. She has had
the opportunity to work with directors as diverse as Steve McQueen and Wes
Craven among many others. Carol has decorated projects ranging from parody
commercials for Saturday Night Live to feature film The Hoax, directed by Lasse
Halstrõm and starring Richard Gere to the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, for which
her set decoration team was recognized by the Television Academy with four Emmy
Awards. Since becoming involved with the New York XR community in 2017, she has
come to believe that virtual and augmented reality is the future of storytelling
and looks forward to the day that spatial computing enters the mainstream. She
received her MFA in Visual Narrative from the School of Visual Arts in New York
in July 2020.
