PLAY by Samuel Beckett
23 Jan
Production of Samuel Beckett’s ‘Play’ in which I acted as artistic director.
initial studio tests for the 3 urns.
the 3 urns under construction.
Rehearsals in urns before completion.
My performative element involved kicking these heads around the floor and cutting the urns out of bandage before the main performance. My performance was accompanied by a sound art performance by Mick O Shea and Paul Hegarty.
Some live shots.
Heaven, Hell, and Traffic Lights.

‘Heaven, Hell, and Traffic Lights.’ was originally large scale 4 screen video installation. Sequentially 3 stages, green overlays of trees and sunshine ambient sound, a middle phase in which the film breaks down into test tones and blue default screen, red phase slowed down solarised pornography distorted faces and monstrous growling.
While de-installing, I physically inverted the whole installation, turning the projection screens into a box and putting all the projectors, amps and kit on the inside.
The results inspired a second version of the piece.
