TRESPASS is a collaborative art project which combines two artists (Aoife Desmond and Seoidín O’Sullivan) divergent practices. Together they investigate and intervene in disused urban space. They research and reveal the delicate balance between nature and the built environment. ‘Trespass’ investigates the different issues around land use and ownership through documentation and performative actions. This project was initiated in Dublin where the two artists are based. They have been working with several sites in Dublin over the last 3 years. They recently participated in The One Year Project 2 at The Land Foundation where they developed a new body of work in response to their time there.

TRESPASS 'Hoarding Site' @ TULCA Galway


Tulca: ‘Hoarding Site’
This work installed for Tulca shows 4 films made in a site off Miltary Road, Kilmainham. The films are imbedded in a hoarding that takes on the boat shape of the original hoarding on Military Road ‘Hoarding walker’ sees the performer cautiously circumnavigating the top of the narrow hoarding. ‘Crawl’ is an attempted re-enactment of the walk but the hoarding has become precarious and the performer is only now able to crawl. ‘Stalker Re-enactment’, re-enacts a scene from Tarkovsky’s famous film, where his character the Stalker enters ‘the zone’. For ‘Fire’ the site becomes temporarily inhabited, a fire is built, the dusk sounds and light recorded and the Trespass crew share Nettle tea.
