Dispatch

Photographer: Lynn Lane

Inspired by the Danish film, Den skylidge, Dispatch places audiences in the passenger seat of a high-risk abduction. Using architectural physicality, spoken word, and unrelenting sound design, Lake forces a magnifying glass onto a 911 dispatch operator while they race the clock to save a desperate hostage.
