Ghost Feed by John Gerrard Located Behind Rocksalt Garden
Presented as part of Folkestone Triennial 2025: 'How Lies the Land?'
More details

This must-see installation is part of Creative Folkestone’s sixth edition of the Folkestone Triennial, running from 19 July to 19 October 2025, which brings world-class art into the streets, gardens and coastal edges of Folkestone.

Step into a hauntingly beautiful digital world with Ghost Feed, a powerful new artwork by internationally acclaimed artist John Gerrard, created exclusively for Folkestone Triennial 2025.

At first glance, you’ll encounter a white-cheeked spider monkey — motionless, hunched over a smartphone — surrounded by a smouldering, simulated rainforest. This hyperreal scene unfolds slowly over time, transitioning from day to night in real time on a large LED screen powered entirely by the Unreal game engine.

Find out more about the Triennial and other works here.

Find Ghost Feed just behind Rocksalt Garden, open daily 11am–5pm
