A Paradise Out of A Common Field is a short animated film that explores the iconography of the zombie. While the origin of the zombie in cultural history is relatively unknown, within the confines of this film, she emerges from a lush garden before being submerged by the ocean. Playing with dream worlds consisting of feral horses and writhing flowers, horizons and image planes unfold to disorient viewers. The audio meanwhile transports listeners through a history of the Irish graveyard and its relationship to trauma.
