Culture Night / by Orla Wren

 


I was very happy to be invited recently to show some of the wonderful films that have been made for my music over the years at the Culture Night Film and Music Trail by Droichead Arts Centre.
Each film was an installation within an abandoned shop front in the town of Drogheda, Ireland on loop twenty four hours a day for a week.

A Woven Rope Of Woven Hope 
Rooted in friendship and common creative fields, A Woven Rope Of Woven Hope is an audiovisual exhibition and installation from sound artist Orla Wren, filmmakers Robert Shaw (Lumacell), Joey Bania and Haruhisa Ueda (Film Sessions).
The Words Under The Wood, Five Acre Ladder, Move Learn Drink Water, Four Feathers Few and A Woven Rope Of Woven Hope by Orla Wren are all rendered beautifully within the hypnotic cinematography of Lumacell, Joey Bania and Haruhisa Ueda.
Filmic incantations full of ecstatic beauty and optimism.
Documents of experience and affirmations on what it is to be human.
