Maximilian Le Cain Solitaire Maximilian Le Cain is a Cork City-based artist who creates a prolific body of moving image outputs, including features, shorts, installations, and performances. Le Cainʼs filmmaking advances a personal relationship with cinema as a site of haunting, where memory, time, and the unconscious overlap. Solitaire, Le Cain’s latest film, is an unsettling experimental ghost story that explores themes of family, home, identity, and gender as unfixed parasitic entities that propagate themselves through bodies, specifically via the performers Natasha Bourke and Aisling O’Connell, and buildings. Aoife Desmond Bury Our Hearts at the Bend of the River Aoife Desmond is a Cork City-based artist who makes films, installations, and performances. Her work engages with environmental crises through the connection between body and landscape, as well as human/non-human relationships. Bury Our Hearts at the Bend of the River follows three performers, Siobhán Ní Dhuinínn, Kanako Haru, and Desmond, accompanying the River Lee from source to sea. Desmond chronicles multiple journeys on foot and by boat, and captures various site-responsive improvisations by the three performers. Fragments of voice-over in Irish and English situate the River Lee within a broader personal, historical, and political framework. |
