Caoimhín Gaffney: All At Once Collapsing Together | Saturday 11 January – Saturday 15 February 2025 | Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre | Image: photo of a pale-skinned figure with long brown, semi-curly hair lying across some dark, lichen-specked rocks, probably at the seaside, arms stretched back over the head and onto the rocks, just head, upper body and arms; the left hand, which is closest to us, bears three enigmatic tattoos, and there is a partial view of another on ntheleft shoulder; oh, and the whole image is upside-down
Opening Reception Saturday 11 January at 2pm

All at Once Collapsing Together brings together film, photography and text for a cross-pollination of ideas about different relationships within our natural environment: the bog as a liminal site of death and transformation, climate change, climate anxiety, healing through psychedelics, the importance of wildlife to our sense of self, and the legacy of colonisation.

An ambitious new body of work, this touring exhibition with Butler Gallery, Kilkenny (lead partner) and Highlanes, Drogheda examines the restorative power of nature, alongside the irreconcilable reality of climate change. The exhibition represents a huge development in the artist’s practice, as he expands from his film work into an installation of multi-screen film, medium format photography, printed text pieces and neon text.
