The Disappearance

Performance (2020); Footage of the inside of a building with difficult heritage, (a former Magdalene Laundry in Donnybrook, Dublin) was projected onto the outside of the building. I then invited members of the public who live in the vicinity of the building to discuss its existence before its demolition. In this case, I was the only person present during the performance. Video clip 6:00 min.

The idea of the project was to explore the desires of those within viewing distance of the building and to try and interoperate their relationship with such a building’s history. There was no interest forthcoming. I held the space and continued the performance.
