Phantom Pains is an exploration of the possibility that buildings have a consciousness; that they hold memory in their walls while they watch the passage of time. A monastery, now in ruins, gutted by fire, becomes the subject. It remembers its life as a functioning place, a place of prayer and contemplation.
Images of the monks over the years are woven into the stone remains of the monastey, the ruins recalling the tolling of the bells.
