Proust Crisis / Samuel Brzeski & Robin Everett
An accompanying publication to the project Time Crisis Conference, in which the arcade video game Time Crisis 4 is used to rewrite Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. In the publication, video game stills are combined with repetitive commands ACTION, WAIT and CONTINUE from the gameplay, which appear faintly on each page. These are combined with extracts from Proust’s novel that contain the same terms, forming a disjointed, fragmented narrative, somewhat out of time.

Samuel Brzeski (b.1988, London) is an artist and writer based in Bergen, Norway.
Samuel works with language as raw material—moulding, stretching and transforming physical texts on screens, on the page and within speech sound. In his work, he explores how digital culture has reprogrammed our relationship to language, and the emotional impacts of this ongoing process.
