Devour the Image. It Tastes like Smoke
In an attempt to contact a passed loved one, we look for ghosts in 24-hour live cameras which allow the spirits to emerge in the pixels which only appear in the nighttime. Projected onto smoke, the viewer becomes active as they inhale and exhale both the image and the conjured spirit. The image is physical and tactile, but impossible to touch (though you may get a sense of phantom touch). Viewable from all angles, the audience must navigate the space and interrupt the light in motion in order to "capture" the ghosts in their hands.
Image fed by desire, devoured by spirits. Soul fed by image, devoured by you.
Take a breath
do you feel the spirit?
does it make you feel free?
body into dust in the air in the nose in the lungs
I think she’s beautiful and I think she doesn’t need to be seen in the light because it distracts from her beauty and I dont think she needs a body or a beautiful face because she’s got the most beautiful soul I’ve ever seen in my life.
image fed by desire, devoured by spirits
not here not nothing

i text her phone and she don't answer no more but someone else does.
i watch her all the time and i love to watch her and i set up cameras so i can watch her all the time even when she can't love me anymore because i wont let her leave me never ever ever
