Celebrating the lives of Fats Waller, Jackson Pollock, Janieta Eyre and Frida Kahlo, a quartet of hauntologies reframes the cruel reductions of biography to focus on death and doubles. Repurposing archival texts (the diaries of Kahlo, the testimonies of Waller’s kin and family) as audio-visual graffiti, old voices are cropped and replayed as intertitles or voice-over fragments, lending a historic charge to images that dream across the present.
