JG (offset)

JG is inspired by Tacita Dean’s correspondence with British author J.G. Ballard regarding connections between Robert Smithson’s iconic earthwork and film Spiral Jetty (1970) and J.G. Ballard’s short story The Voices of Time (1960). JG is a visually stunning, elliptical interpretation of a speculative conversation between Ballard, Smithson, and Dean that reaches across decades and disciplines. The film was shot at six different sites in the saline landscapes of Utah and Southern California.
