Ghost Strata
_Ghost Strata_ refers to the missing elements from within the rock strata that despite their absence offer hints of what was once there. The film is divided into the months of the year in which the footage was captured. Filmed in various places over the globe, charting various personal movements of the filmmaker, _Ghost Strata_ explores the differing scales of impact that humanity’s presence has on the earth in the past, present and into the future. Found sound and text create a meditation on time, memory, leftovers and extinction.

And you, do you believe in ghosts?
The oracle announces it as an epigraph
This will be a film about time
A film about you
In the age of dromology
Here, fragments of space-time resist light-time
Suspended, they bring us back to the duration of the lunar orbit
Where within the cut
At the end of each month
An energy transfer takes place
Reviving a familiar sonic past
That of a parallel universe
In complete serendipity
Rock converses with air
Plants philosophize
The cigarette speaks with the walkie-talkie
The monkey holds the ice cube
And the human hand receives the light
Once the cards are turned over
If the conclusion is unpredictable
Though not surprising
It is one of love and support
The ghost is also a magician
