solo exhibition

in 1945, casper the friendly ghost attempted to commit suicide by lying down in front of a fast-moving train. this footage (from the first ever televised episode) follows casper in his moment of despair, where he sobs, realising he is still here…still dead…still alive…...still dead.

sound work on bluetooth speaker
the short audio track plays every 37 seconds via a hidden bluetooth speaker. it is adapted from a moment in snow white, when she sings into a wishing well accompanied by her echo. the looped audio samples the split second moment when her echo becomes autonomous and instead chooses to sing alongside her rather than just repeating
