'among objects' (2012) was a solo project at The Joinery, Dublin. It was the first part of an exploration into film theorist Vivian Sobchack's essay, The Passion of the Material, and the result of grappling with her idea of interobjectivity. The work was specificaly involved with three films that Sobchack discusses: Babette's Feast (Gabriel Axel, 1987), Therese (Alain Cavalier, 1986) and The Diary of a Country Priest (Robert Bresson, 1950). Out from the material process of cutting, zooming and remixing the films, three environments emerged that occupied the three zones of the Joinery. Each consisted of a combination of objects including the remixed films.

As part of the exhibition there was a public conversation led by Tina Kinsella that opened into a larger conversation with many insights and responses for which I am very grateful.
