Three new film and video works re-investigate history and evoke the lives of pioneering figures. Matthew Buckingham addresses present day realities such as the impact of globalisation and colonialism. 'The Spirit and the Letter' portrays 18th-century writer and social reformer Mary Wollstonecraft as a ghost whose legacy remains unsettled.
