| A man descends below a city
into a labyrinth of passageways and sewers, knowing his way though he
has not seen this place before. The walls of the tunnels move past, now
turning right, now left, now stretching off ahead as he travels deeper.
Perspective is stretched, shortened, twisted and wrung, sense of
direction is lost. A web of images is woven, at turns poetic, grotesque,
dizzying, nauseating, naked, transcendent and visceral. Inspired by
Gustav Meyrink's novel The Golem, “Ghosts” is a journey that finds the
searcher face to face with himself. This piece explores a parallel
between the seemingly ominous yet beautifully mystical environment of
the West Coast of Canada, and the atmospheric, spiritual Prague in The
Golem.
