Cuttings  
(video artwork)




Cuttings is a recently completed video artwork which has as its subject matter an urban park in Berlin (Germany) and takes a structuralist approach that both unravels the park’s complicated history, while also investigating the research materiality of the various tools and sources utilised. The Cuttings series presents gestures and traces of landscaping, refecting on notions of the picturesque, and concerns around what may be omited, extracted and cast aside.

Irish Energy
(curatorial work)




Irish Energy was an exhibition of contemporary Irish artists in Berlin (Germany) in 2024 that departed from Joseph Beuys’ relationship to Ireland to touch upon topics of landscape, ecology, shamanism, magic and socio-political agency. I was involved in the initial curatorial work for the exhibition: including drawing up the conceptual framework, and identifying and inviting the artists, in partnership with co-curator Sheena Malone. Due to a clash of my own commitments, Malone went on to realise the final exhibition as sole curator.

Here is Some Place Else
(documentary film)




Here is Some Place Else is a short documentary film made in 2023 that unfolds the social and personal narratives hidden in landscape: exploring lost places, the idea of home, and the echo of memory. The film uncovers the disappeared village of Tzschelln, demolished in the late 1970s to make way for a surface mine, and surveys the contemporary site, undertakes memory work with former inhabitants, and visits the storeroom of a historical museum.
