"de-composition" is a site-specific performance collaboration between Tamara Ashley (UK) and Nala Walla (US.) Filmed at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, WA -- a decomissioned, decomposing military base -- the film explores themes of anachronism, isolation and decay. None of the footage was scripted or planned, hence the relevance of the title, de-composition.

Pursuing her PHd. studies of artists for whom the landscape is an integral part of their art-making, Tamara received a grant from Texas Women's University to work with Nala in the summer of 2009. Several durational performance events and films have resulted from continuing collaborations between the two.

  • That was so beautiful Nala! It hit deeply because you took me there to that bunker... I feel you helped with acknowledging the pain that has been held in those walls.

    Thank you
