Remembered, Heard, Fictionalized, Drawing IN, OUT, OF Belfast’.
- Jennifer Caffrey, installation
Opening, Thursday, 13 January 2011, 6-9pm

The title seems to list the ingredients and themes of this project: drawing and sound- memory and fiction.
‘Remembered, Heard, Fictionalized, Drawing IN, OUT, OF Belfast’ is a personal portrait of Belfast.
An installation with recordings of conversations, of sentences picked up, sketches of house fronts or street corners, photographs of locations.
What occurs again and again in these small drawings, digitalized and projected, is bunting, lines with triangular, colourful flags. Leftovers of festivals, celebrations, parades and parties in the streets of Belfast. Recorded not where tourist would walk, but where the un-glamorous side of life is transformed for a while, an evening, a weekend into something memorable. A halo of everyday life and an exception in an urban routine.
Like an anthropologist, Jennifer Caffrey observed and collected these small details and leftover fragments of life and joy in the city.
Research not of a lost time, but a socially charged present.

The project continuous till 15.01.2011
Opening hours: Tues- Fri 12am- 5pm, Sat 11am-3pm
