Pale Coast: A Cenotaph

Summary

Pale Coast, Garden's first film, speculates on SERRF, a Long Beach waste-to-energy incineration facility, as a reflection on race and "mythological ontology." The film frames Zurah Lynn Taylor's and Garden's performances as readings of irreparably damaged recordings from public archives and includes an interview with its former manager and documentation of its malpractice from CalRecycle.
