“Leach out the vapors,
thaw time in forsaken places.
Wherever we remember,
it's far from history."
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "Doherty's videos are to me a re-telling of stories and events from a hundred years ago, a new perspective on history that is a type of witnessing that is not testimony. The videos have a certain posthumous quality to them as they explore the past in a ghost like hallucination, not concerned about making any sense of it. Also Doherty films powerful subjects with violent histories, their intense disquiet having been absorbed and filtered into every frame of his videos, giving his signature restraint a certain penumbra of unexpected danger. I have watched these videos again and again!" - Raj
