These Islands, Ballysadare, Co. Sligo

Research output: Non-textual form › Exhibition

Abstract

These Islands, Ballysadare, Co. Sligo (2017) is a single channel HD video with stereo sound of 5:00 duration, filmed, directed, and edited by Peter Maybury. It is an account of the site conditions and surroundings of Ballysadare Abbey, Co. Sligo, found at Abbeystown, a working quarry. The remains of the abbey extend to the ruins of two walls, the arches of the belfry, and a small part of the tower. I made this film as a companion to These Islands, Slievemore, Dooagh, Co. Mayo (2013), and in common with it, issues of history, exploiting resources, and manufacture are considered through this ‘ready-made’, while camera, editing, and sound-processing make explicit the construct of film, paralleling the societal construct that is the film’s subject.
