Éiríonn an t-oileán leat, a prologue
A collaborative film piece by visual artist Andrew Duggan, interdisciplinary artist and researcher Sophie Fetokaki, and composer and performer Seán Ó Dálaigh.
This piece acts as a springboard to open up definitions of ‘islandness’. To generate a perpetual motion of thought powered by the core paradox of islands: what appears as boundary is actually threshold, membrane, intensity; and what appears as isolated is in fact produced through material, historical, and ecological relations.
The film launches a year long project located in An Gaeltacht, Cyprus and Märket, Finland. Supported by Éalain na Gaeltachta, the Nordic Culture Fund’s Globus Opstart + program and Culture Ireland.”
