BODIES
A sublime visual experience exploring the human body as an extension of the morphing cityscape of Dublin
Investigating and capturing individual and collective performances of our private bodies within our radically changing cityscape.
We witness and observe the constant shifts in the physical, social and cultural urban landscape we live in. With the intensification of global enterprises and neo-liberal processes rapidly transforming our city’s public and private spaces, as experienced in Dublin 8, the delicate balance between the human and physical city bodies are affected.
