Les Vestiges, a short film by Rebecca Birch and Sarah Casey is currently available to view online via the Henry Moore Institute You Tube Channel.
Les Vestiges (12:38) follows Casey’s work with archaeologists Pierre-Yves Nicod and Regula Gubler, and was shot in Valais and Bern in 2023. It features the notable archaeological site at the Löetschenpass, where artefacts as old as 3,000 years have melted out of retreating ice. The film uses Casey’s heat-sensitive drawings that react to environmental conditions, to amplify the invisible elements – heat, wind, erosion – that disrupt the ice and archaeology.Reflecting on the synergies between the fragility of drawing and uncovering archaeological remains, the film explores human entanglements in stories of geological and environmental change in high mountain areas.
