The Tower House
Two-channel HD video with audio
Continuous loop
2017
The Tower House is a looped two-channel video in which three first-time visitors describe a 16th Century tower house in County Clare, Ireland. The video is shot inside the structure, which was simultaneously a domestic space and a civil defense tower. One video is edited to isolate the moments when the individuals grapple with the words and gestures they will use to describe the architecture. The second channel is edited to give a concise account of their conceptualization of the space as they find the language to describe the salient features of the house.
