Ghosts Don’t Walk in Straight Lines

The multifaceted project is open from Thursday, November 8th to Sunday, November 11th and will consist of an exhibition, a short film edited by Will Town featuring music by Jim Beard and costume design by Haider Ackermann, as well as an accompanying book designed by Matt Watkins available for purchase exclusively at the opening through Red Hook Labs for $75.00. The slow walk along Manhattan’s North to South axis – juxtaposing a city that is in many ways very fast moving – has been documented along with stories and encounters from 225th Street and Broadway all the way down to Battery Park. The route ignored the New York grid system (as much as possible) and was completed in one full day. The book and the film capture New York in a very specific moment in time, where traces of the past are still visible but on the brink of disappearing. Just as the walk took Saskia on a journey through Manhattan, crossing many different neighborhoods, so too will the film and the images for the viewer.
