Phantom Video 4mins sound colour 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. |

Empire
2 Video 4mins sound colour 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 Whereas Warhol’s historical reference for Empire was Lumiere and the actuality; or document, the historical reference for Empire 2 is Melies and the trick film; or fiction.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. Dónal Ó’Céilleachair |
