Description

In the robing room is a short performance film by Áine Phillips made with Vivienne Dick on camera in 2012. The piece was filmed in the Bishop's Robing Room in Kilkenny as part of Kilkenny Arts Festival curated by Josephine Kelliher that year. The filmed performance is a metaphoric struggle with a distorted, mutated dress that will not fit and is impossible to wear. It was created within an installation of video projections onto long flowing panels of muslin in the darkened 18th century room. This installation was presented widely in Ireland and internationally at exhibitions, screenings and festivals between 2011 and 2018.
