Created using the Unity video game engine, All Unsaved Progress Will Be Lost is a melancholy journey through a ghost town of concrete and fog, based on the testimony of a woman who refused to evacuate her hometown village after a terrible disaster. Mélanie Courtinat, the artist behind this work, explores video games as a central artistic medium in her practice. She pushes its limits to create bridges with other fields, such as visual arts, music, fashion, architecture and cinema.
