A NEW visual arts language and story are to be writ large on city sites as of Friday 12 with the launch of LANDLOCKED. This is a suite of 10 documentary video portraits projected on to Limerick walls, shot by filmmaker Christina Gangos who used to live here.
“Participants were asked to contemplate life-changing events for ten minutes while they were filmed,” says PRO Róisín Buckley. “Their thoughts are kept private, yet the camera documents the physical process, the slight movements and gentle motions of a body in thought”.
Those who took who took part in the 20metre x 11.25m images ranged in age from eight to 50. The map of projections can be read on website www.landlocked-ireland.com.
This work was created with the help of Arts Council and Limerick City of Culture.
