Dead Horse Bay
This short experimental documentary is a portrait of a South Brooklyn beach that sits on top of a century-old garbage dump. Dead Horse Bay follows the mudlarkers and artists who come to dig through the debris, unearthing treasures from New York City's past. Images recorded with antique and damaged camera lenses evoke a fractured landscape in constant ebb and flow between past and present. The immersive sound design combines the distinctive clinking of glass tumbling in the waves and interviews with the community of people who have spent years getting to know the rhythms of the bay.
