Made In Dublin is an ever-changing work about a city on the move, cinematically constructed as infinitely unravelling parallel sequences of events played out by the movement of people caught up in time and place. And that place is Dublin.

Presented here as 6 special online excerpts from the nine-screen installation [6.4×1.2m, 4-channel audio].

With shifting narratives built around the collaborative work of Eamonn Doyle and Niall Sweeney — featuring a quadrophonic composition by David Donohoe incorporating the voice of Kevin Barry — it is a choreography of the city itself; its fabric, body, population and psyche; their combined forces continuously shaping and wearing away at the autonomy of the other. Fragmented, labyrinthine, braced against the light, Made In Dublin reveals a city whose concrete is as plastic as the movement of its inhabitants.

Conceived as a kind of evolving, spiralling ciné-myriorama, Made In Dublin was originally commissioned as a screen installation (by ThisIsPopBaby for Where We Live, 2018) and then as a book (Thames & Hudson, 2019) which features text vignettes by Kevin Barry.
