Forsaken explores the abandoned juvenile hall that the ledgers in Verses were found. Parts of this film were photographed over many years revealing the physical change in the building. The neglect of the building is a metaphor for the children who had once lived there.
Besides the footage of curtains, wind, and some pans or tilts, this is mostly a film made of stills, achieving movement with flash frames, slight changes in composition and editing. this film has 500 cuts in 6min. The room with the curtain was filmed over several years.
