This video features the Koreshan Settlement, a turn of the century utopian community located in Estero, Florida, which now functions as a tourist destination. The piece focuses on the aesthetics of archive-museum display and the idiosyncratic history and beliefs of the community itself. Responding to the glass that encases each room, my camera captures ghostly reflections of tourists and the local environemnt that animate these preserved spaces. This video will have two versions: a single channel version and an installation version that itself will incorporate the reflection of the gallery-goer.
