the FORGOTTEN FILM GALLERY highlights

Currently working on a documentary video art installation. Learning about the past, future, present and large for profit solar power in the desert. All seems connected. The plan for now is to keep creating more Forgotten Film Galleries.

The Forgotten Film Gallery is a documentary film project and video art installation which plans to showcase a collection of films dealing with interpretations of the forgotten and the indefinite time period during and after the present. The Forgotten Film Gallery will attempt to link the past, present and future using the Mojave desert as the video art installation space.

Below are some highlights from the current Forgotten Gallery. To learn about the more current and complete Forgotten Gallery story please

Recently learned Bright Source a large for profit energy corporation plans to erect two solar towers at Hidden Hills. Not sure what will become of the Hidden Cathedral or Queho’s grave. In other news, I’ve been working on how to create stop motion with my new Cannon. More shots to come. Stay tuned.

My family and I have been coming here for the last fifteen years. During the 70′s Hidden Hills Ranch near Pahrump, Nevada was an area that attracted over a thousand visitors a month. Hidden Hills Ranch was a non denominational, spiritual place created out of the existing rocks by Roland Wiley. Roland was a prominent attorney who also helped shape Las Vegas. We came back a few weeks ago. Thinking maybe we can show some of the films here. Finding more to the story about Hidden Hills Ranch and the surrounding area. I’ll keep you posted. -g

After 22 years of marriage my husband still talks to me… sometimes. Here he is testing the TV’s we plan to take to Hidden Hills. My demand is the electronics must work together with the borrowed 2000 watt Honda gas generator. Power is crucial to the Forgotten Film Gallery. No power in the lonely desert or is there? Wish we could plug the TV’s into to the sun. Maybe a small catheter plugged to one of the rays would work. lol. For now a tight collar of gas with hopefully a long enough leash must hide behind a hill or my selfish dream will not work. Stay tuned.

Was the perfect time to take a drive from Vegas and share films with the lonely desert. Upon arrival to the gallery we learned serendipity can change.

After learning our intended gallery had been burned down and my camera mic had other plans for sound, the decision was still to watch these films. A video montage honoring the following works inside the last remaining dwelling with a roof at Hidden Hills:
