Project Arts Centre in association with the Irish Film Institute and the Experimental Film Club presents
Project Arts Centre is delighted to partner with the Irish Film Institute and the Experimental Film Club to present this screening of experimental films to accompany our exhibition A Breathcrystal.
This dynamic and investigative screening programme is concerned with ideas around contamination, cross-pollination, symbiosis and infestation.
A Breathcrystal was originally inspired the Gwion Gwion/Bradshaw paintings, ancient Australian cave and rock drawings that are eternally regenerated by a fungus that inhabits them.
By conventional standards these paintings would be considered contaminated but in this instance, through this constant transformation, they carry new meaning.
This screening programme will show work from Pierre Huyghe, Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll & Claire Loussouarn, Sven Johne, Susan Schuppli, Nicola Martini and Saskia Olde Wolbers.
