Author Description

This book is a celebration o two films by Willie Doherty: Ghost Story (2007), first shown at the 52nd Venice Biennale, and Buried (2009), commissioned by and first shown at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh. Conceived as a companion piece to Ghost Story, Buried was filmed in the same location and shares something of the same atmosphere: Both films deal with memory, it's repression and return, and hove the odd sense of timeless urgency that characterises much of Willie Doherty's work.
