Almost Ghost

2017 · 1h 20m · Documentary

I returned to 8mm home movies for this compilation film, shot during the final year of my grandmother's life, and, beginning with footage of her garden. It is a documentary about gradually vanishing equipment collapsing and deteriorating, and also a document of those processes themselves. With the camera picking up details so minute that you can practically smell the pungent odors on the other side of the lens. I continued filming while actually having no idea when the device might reach the end of its life.
