About
Monument is an experimental documentary that pairs hand-processed and chemically-altered Super 8mm film footage of the decaying monuments of Presidents Park (Croaker, VA) with original and community-sourced video footage captured on Monument Avenue (Richmond, VA) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Themes of registration and re-calibration, and metaphor and analogy, are explored through form and content and the distinct features of the media employed.
