Projector 1.2

 

Projector are a collective of artists. On this occasion, Projector 1.2 showcases a collaboration between the artists Anthony Kelly, John Carter and Jay Roche.

On December 12th 2006 the Projector Art Collective staged an event in the Wicklow hills. Taking the recently released text of the resignation papers of Cearbhall Ó Daláigh (fifth president of the Irish Republic 1975 -76) they created a light projection of his words which they cast into the hills and trees. In doing so they hoped to create a portal between past and present using the words to create a bridge between historical events and the present day.

Projector recorded The Last Days of the President in a series of photographs and on digital video. A group of these photographs are available as prints (please see Projector 1.1)  and a DVD has been compiled.

 

This dvd is available now as a limited edition multiple and has been signed by the Projector Collective.

 

This dvd edition contains a set of postcards, a booklet relating to the project and a dvd containing a 25-minute documentation piece, notes, credits and stills.
