Grind Mouth
Dominic Thorpe
Description
Grind Mouth is a performance-to-camera filmed in the former workhouse in Callan, Kilkenny. The video comes from a body of work responding to the complex web of perpetration and complicity in relation to the Irish famine and related emigration. In the work a series of honed actions register an internal layering of embodied trauma, resulting from various levels of direct and indirect participation in oppression and atrocity.
Grind Mouth was developed as part of the Border Crossings project at the SASA Gallery Adelaide for the Adelaide Fringe 2016 and the Galway Arts Festival 2016. It was subsequently shown in a number of contexts, including at the Galerie Michaela Stock Vienna 2019, The FPAC Assemblage Gallery Boston 2020 and Performance Space Folkstone UK 2018.
