3Shots Festival triptych 2021. Third Place Jury Award

‘A poetic approach to an alarming topic, poetically captured between grains of sand, water, air, and the texture of a black and white photograph. Movement and stillness juxtaposed in harmony: a dead fish, waves of water, and wind. As photographer Steven Nestor describes: a search for traces of something that defies mapping and understanding.’

‘A selection of Ireland’s leading architects and artists have been invited to recommend books and publications inspiring to their practice. Interweaving art and architecture to engage diverse audiences, the focus is on the interdisciplinary aspects of these distinct disciplines, their contingencies and overlaps, as well as their explicitly divergent natures.’
