Curator’s clip description
This clip expresses the idea that ‘You can’t see it, but you can hear it’. Ruby lays her ear to the train tracks upon which the ghost train passes. The clip moves through different time periods, the characters telling retrospectively of the passing of the ghost train.
Curator’s notes
The theme of ‘You can hear it but you can’t see it’, is the undercurrent of this film, and more than any other, exemplifies the confusion that occurs through the fracturing of the senses, resulting in a fracturing of place.
Romaine Moreton, curator
