FILM

Nuclear Forest. Nuclear Forest is filmed in Aiken, South Carolina's Hitchcock Woods, the country’s largest privately owned urban forest, and the Savannah River Site Museum of the 198,000 acre reservation for America’s plutonium storage, tritium production and military and space dreams.

Wolf Queen. I wanted to ‘rewild’ Reina Loba, to set her free from centuries of propaganda. Reina Loba, Wolf Queen of Galicia, Queen Lupa, c.45 AD. The Romans, Visigoths, Spanish Empire, local kingdoms, Catholic Church, everyone dreamed of taking her prosperous territory. Queen Lupa outwitted them all. She was called a witch because she talked with animals, healed with herbs, and danced in the forest at night with her people. An 11th century Catholic monk tried to erase her from history, but her story survived. Reina Loba examines historical record, myth, and institutional narrative.

Magic Dream. South Carolina was once the Spanish Empire's search for El Dorado. It is a territory haunted by the dreams of conquistadors, adventurers, pirates, hunted Indians and runaway slaves. Its present inhabitants, world class polo horse farms, DreamTown USA and largest US military training camps are haunted by the Cold War 198,046 acre Savannah River Site nuclear technology and storage site 15 minutes down the road. This includes the two radioactive alligators dubbed by workers as Tritagator and Dioxinator, after two of the wastes, radioactive tritium and toxic dioxin, living in one of the most contaminated places on earth.
