Involving dozens of bees, crabs, a taxidermied python and more, her piece, The Perilous Pursuit of the Python, is part of the ongoing narrative of her vicious, minuscule fairies’ evil-doings.

Seamus Harahan showing film in ‘Backwards into Paradise’ at FLOOD

Filed under: Artists,News and Events,Seamus Harahan — admin @ 5:57 pm

Seamus Harahan will be showing his film Before Sunrise in a group show at the FLOOD project space in Dublin, Ireland. The exhibition, ‘Backwards into Paradise,’ is a collection of work by film and video artists exploring themes of light and darkness, facts and fictions via narrative and metaphor. The exhibition uses moments of the everyday and sublime which suggest a greater global significance and meaning.

Before Sunrise is an experiment in response to On a Beautiful Day, a film made at the Berlin Wall by artist KP Brehmer in 1969. Brehmer was asked by a friend to retrace a walk and to record it on film. Likewise, Harahan was asked by a fellow artist to do the same through Alexandra Park in North Belfast. He was given a super-8 camera and one reel of film. The camera leads the viewer to a peace line separating the neighbouring communities.
