Invisible is an ongoing project in audio installation, and one of Lynch's most notable projects. The project is an extended speculation, and an imagination of what if the transatlantic slave trade had not happened. The work is written about by Gascia Ouzounian in a 2008 dissertation. [4]
Ouzounian writes of the project,
As a haunted work, it emerges in uncanny ways. Since 2001, the year she finished her landmark documentary Black Russians, Lynch has been working on Invisible, what she considers a "forever project." The forever-ness of Invisible is the forever-ness of memory and its infinite reflection in the lived environment. For Lynch, it is more precisely the forever-ness of the memory of slavery, a memory which is mapped out in Lynch's own lived environment in the United States in ways that she must continually process, negotiate, and re-reflect through this immense work. [4]
"INVISIBLE :: saved," an installment of the Invisible project, was awarded a MAP Fund grant in 2018. This installment focuses on the lynching of Laura Nelson and her teenage son, and is described as "a living memorial" involving live choir performances taking place on steel bridges. [5]
