One need not be a Chamber—to be Haunted—
—Emily Dickinson
Is memory a place? Are ghosts our past turned itinerant?
This gallery is haunted.
Haunted by what is no longer, and by what is not yet.
the mirror fogs
a name written long ago
faintly reappears
–Rod Willmot
This exhibition explores cinema as spectral memory, temporal disruption, and the protean meaning of being haunted. Sited at the intersection between cultural memory and lost futures, Haunted crosses sensory and disciplinary thresholds, examining the ways in which the past —both real and imagined —inform our present and future. Haunted contains moving image, installation, sculptural, and photographic works conjured from architecture, technology, pop culture, heritage, and nature. These works dissolve the separation between now and then, visitations to that which is present yet not real.
Evanescent portals beckon.
Navajo moon
the coyote call
not a coyote
