Battle Weary
2025 / 2:51" / 8mm transferred to digital
All across England, lost beneath neat, uniform timber plantations, lie the remains of some of our oldest living ecosystems. These are the “Ghost Woods” - once thriving ancient woodlands felled in the 20th century and now smothered by monoculture plantations. Buried deep within their soil rest traces of an ancient past.
This film was shot in the Great Wood of Battle, East Sussex. Once processed, it was buried for one week.
Commissioned by Wild Card as part of their campaign to rewild the ghost woods.
