ork is set in Berlin’s former Tempelhof Airport, drawing on its architectural location, as well as historic ideologies, to explore the conditions of exile and liminality that are symptomatic of the refugee experience. Since its inception by the Nazi Ministry of Aviation to its current use as a public park and, most recently, as an emergency refugee shelter, the Tempelhof has been the backdrop to many key events in Berlin’s history. The work is a meditation on this non-place. aislingmccoy.com Phelim Hoey La Machine Autonomy and independence are considered important in western society, and is often a big part of one’s identity. In the case of the artist, being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, it is no longer self-evident that the body carries out actions. With the loss of the certainty of a functioning body, the identity is also compromised. The project consists of a personal diary, motion studies with other patients, poetic photographs, films and sculptures. phelim.persona.co George Voronov We Became Everything Shot over many months among religious communities and on spiritual retreats, We Became Everything attempts to depict young people’s experience of spirituality in contemporary Ireland. The work is concerned with the subjects’ search for answers to fundamental questions. What does it mean to have faith? To be a good person? To live a good life? The spiritual enquiry of these young people runs in tandem with their attempts at self-discovery as they move into adulthood. georgevoronov.com WORKS 33
