Summary
THE PATH THE RIVER 2023
The Path The River is a work made at Mount Brown, in Dublin 8 (June 2023). A back lane of the city, the debris of contemporary life discarded along the way. Nothing changes but is transformed by the flow of all things, as James Joyce’s river runs. “Yet is no body present here which was not there before. Only is order othered. Nought is nulled. Fuitfiat!”
Additional info
Paula Fitzsimons is an Irish visual artist utilising modes of live performance, photography, poetic text and drawing to make time based works of art. She is concerned with live art practice, holding close the precious breath of the 'Other'. To transgress using actions and material crisis from a deep well resonating between the personal and the political, looking beyond the studio to a wider, real and direct negotiation with materials and images. Her work holds an interest in the politics of sexual identity, issues of loss, melancholia and the use of actions as carriers for meaning, reflecting on art as a form of resistance and aiming to find the image somewhere in the print of doing.
