A narrative compression of time, place and persons that captures the 'spirit' of a building 300 years old.

Palimpsest explores  the relationship of time and space by representing a fixed location over a period of three centuries. The compression of time is illustrated with a combination of 'time -lapse', real time, and stop frame photography. The space itself transforms and mutates playing with a representation of historical references from 17th century painting to early 20th century cinema. The choreography of the characters appearing, disappearing and reappearing pays homage to the photographs of the spirits of the Victorian era. As time progresses the representation of these characters fade  but leave a faint trace, these traces eventually overlap creating a new collage- like the title suggests. The sound used within the film is created using shortwave radio recordings evoking the 'electronic voice phenomenon' recordings of the deceased.
