Paradise Filming Locations

Paradise is a series of short, unconventional documentaries that focuses on seven American communities that no longer exist, quietly investigating their abandoned sites in order to consider who and what we are comfortable remembering. The sites include Wounded Knee in South Dakota; Centralia, an erstwhile mining town in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania; and the site of Jonestown in Guyana. Taking documentary, poetry, and contemporary landscape photography as its foundations, Paradise is a record of the historical and the personal. It is as much about the past as it is a meditation on the present and the meaning of home.
