Phantom is the result of a collaboration between three friends; an animator, a composer and a photographer. The piece explores a vacated flat in Dublin. Once full of life, the flat is now empty — only memories wash around the deserted rooms. Inspired by the music which accompanies it, Phantom is a series of still photographs which are animated using the technique of texture projection.

The short film encompasses the artists shared practices of recycling objets trouveés of visual and sound material. The flickering of a malfunctioning apartment intercom monitor fuses with the soundtrack. Although broken, the monitor is intermittently transmitting information to the viewer/receiver.

41 years ago, on July 25, 1964 Warhol - with Jonas Mekas on camera - made one of his most legendary and least seen films; Empire; an 8-hour meditation on the iconic nature of the Empire State Building. Whereas Warhol’s historical reference for Empire was Lumiere and the actuality; or document, the historical reference for Empire 2 is Melies and the trick film; or fiction. Whereas the original Empire concentrates on the top half of the building, Empire 2 concentrates more on the idea of the building’s antenna. Whereas the original film lasted for 8 hours Empire 2 lasts for 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
