Description

This polyptych film offers an intimate exploration of the abandoned Nazareth House nursing home in Derry. Once run by the Sisters of Nazareth religious order, the home was shut down in 2013 following a police investigation into reports of neglect and abuse.

Through Morris’ lens, the camera drifts through empty rooms, lingering on the remnants of everyday life left behind. As these spaces unfold, a sense of haunting pervades the scene, with barely audible voices reverberating through the ambient soundtrack like echoes of conversations long silenced, evoking the presence of former residents who are now only memories.
