Formally, THE GHOST PROJECT most echoes a museum with components (text, objects & images) arranged for the visitor to mentally assemble. Yet, unlike traditional assumptions, here the chosen truth admits room for the slipperiness of imagination. The work evolves and responds according to location and community. By working fluidly it expands, contracts and adjusts local story and circumstance.
Although most often presented as an amalgam the project has three distinct methodologies reflected in individual series. The third partition in the project, THE GHOST PROJECT : AN INCOMPLETE HISTORY is a shifting series of creative lectures, displays and story exchanges that sit alongside or mingle with the installations. Over the project’s decade of history it has collected suite of artefacts, tales and images. Riffing on museum displays but upending their traditional logic of veracity, audiences immersion is deepened. Through out the work the mechanisms of deceit are largely exposed to the cynical modern eye yet create an atmosphere of speculation
