Who is Mrs. Dalby?

In Mrs. Dalby and the Gravekeeper of Hatteras Island, Blake Pfeil takes the listener on a fantastical walk to the ruins of a seaside shanty, standing proudly on the edge of a graveyard overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

The dangers of being lost: spaces into places

Hulked is a creative heritage project inspired by the histories, stories and songs of the Thames Barges, many of which are now ‘hulked’ along the Medway River.

Walking piece

ruins; resurrected

165 kilometres in the course of 3 years - connecting two places of violence and extending the research focus beyond "modernity" - eventually understanding that patriarchal capitalism spans from Ancient Greek to today's Europe and this narrative only serves to justify the ongoing violences which are aiming to exclude raher than integrate and to protect a status quo (the ewaltth of very few) rather than investing the necessary efforts into saving our bruning planet. Format: 3-Channel-AV-Installation & Essay (60 pages).

All-American Ruins guides listeners through immersive audio fantasies, recreating my experiences exploring abandoned spaces. Along the way, I ask questions about society and culture while encouraging folks to activate their imaginations for healing.

Sometimes, an abandoned space can summon a ghost – or maybe it’s just a figment of the imagination. Either way, join me as I accompany you on a fantastical walk to the ruins of a seaside shanty, standing proudly on the edge of a graveyard overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. (And don’t be surprised if we run into a ghost named Mrs. Dalby.)
