Filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist Kate H. McCabe founded the art collective Kidnap Yourself near Joshua Tree in 2005 soon after graduating CalArts with an MFA in Experimental Animation. Since 2008, Kate has published a series about her desert life, “Mojave Weather Diaries” now included in the Luna Arcana. Her Ghost O’Clock series were composed over a 7 year period as an exploration of spirit and place, both spontaneous and haunting, and all choreographed in camera through long exposures. Kate’s work in this collection draws on our relationship to landscape and the traces of ourselves we leave behind.
Her films, including her feature Sabbia for musician Brant Bjork, have screened internationally and most recently at the Palm Springs Art Museum, as well as streaming as part of Canyon Cinema’s collection through Kinoscope. Kate works as both an educator and artist, exploring themes of communication mishaps and our undeniable connection to the landscape.
