Fantôme Afrique weaves cinematic and architectural references through imagery Ouagadougou, the centre for cinema in Africa, and the arid landscapes of rural Burkina Faso.
The film installation is punctuated by archival footage from early colonial expeditions and landmark moments in African history.
Renowned choreographer and dancer Stephen Galloway (Ballet Frankfurt) and actor Vanessa Myrie (Baltimore) figure as 'trickster/phantom' and 'witness' in this carefully composed meditation on the denationalised, de-territorialised spaces born of the encounters between local and global cultures, where the ghosts of history linger amid the realities of the day.
21'41'', three-screen installation, 16mm film transferred to digital, colour, 5.1 surround sound
