Project description

In this atmospheric short film, a man returns to a gloomy forest in Birmingham, where long ago a mysterious crime was committed. Party photo-roman, partly digital travel report, this short film juxtaposes old forensic photographs with videos shot with a phone of the crime scene as it stands in the current day. A whisper in Hagley Woods reflects on placeness, the apparatus of cinema and on the way ghosts inhabit photographs. It further ambiguously explores the role of the male creator indulging his obsession. He retraces the steps of the murderer as well as the victim… while reminiscing on a past that is shaped through the lens of fictional narratives.

Bio

Project description

of the land: faces, place, traces, earth [Video (color, sound)]
Through voiceover, the narrator attempts to define her identity as image, place, feeling and belonging. Using the POV of the camera, the narrator traces her relationship to the moving image presented, beginning in colonial figurative representation, getting lost in the abstraction of place through maps, finding an abstract sense of shared kinship in feeling, and, finally, the land itself as a marker of her history. If VR headset use is possible, a part of the installation can also be an interactive video: https://vimeo.com/563244503/3d0e7ed7d6
