The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia is staging a special event titled Ghost Trees : Promoting sustainability through audiovisual art. This is a unique audiovisual artwork currently showing in the NFSA Gallery space.

Ghost Trees invites viewers into an immersive experience of the endangered Rushworth Forest on the lands of the Ngurai-illam Wurrung people in Victoria. Using environmental data captured by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, Australian artists James McGrath and Gary Sinclair have created an immersive experience that invites us to connect with nature in a new way and reflect on our place in it and our impacts on it.

This installation reflects the NFSA commitment to curating powerful and thought-provoking audiovisual experiences where people can gather to learn, reflect and be inspired to take action that moves us towards a more sustainable future.

Ghost Trees is open daily in the NFSA Gallery (10.00am to 4.00pm, free admission) until 8 September 2024.
