Ambit

found objects, plastic bag, bone, steel, flax fibre, plaster, resin

1. The bounds or limits of a place;

2. A sphere or scope of action, expression, or influence;

3. A circuit.

The history of Bully's Acre has been one of constant dispute between State authorities and local communities. The grounds which were a site of ritual bonfires and celebrations for the feast of St. John are now surrounded by thick walls.

Animal bones are lain over a sterile membrane of plastic. They lie brittle, exposed beside paraphernalia used to make fencing taut. Twisting around these objects and hanging above are hair-like fibres. The identity of these objects is obscured, like the riot guard, whose humanity is stripped of individuation in service of maintaining the State.

Acan, Beon (Aching, Being)

moving image

Old English verbs acan (to ache), and the continuous form of to be.

This piece comes from discussions with people affected by chronic pain, and my own reflections on pain. These individual experiences are given empirical form: in gross growths; in the disembodied shots. Solitary in the silent space of the film, their existence flickers.

Special thanks to Birdie Cashill, Cain Butler, Carmel-Deirde (CD) Humphreys and Hannah Murphy.
