July 29 - July 30, 2016
7pm
A photo series by Irish photographer David Killeen is set in Switzerland based on a journey made by an un-named British couple in 1935. It is the telling of a story in retracing this couples journey around Switzerland recounting the events that unfolded along the way using the personal account documented in their photo album.
​

The album documents the couple’s travels to Switzerland between late August and early September of 1935 consisting of the original, caption-dated photographs and an accompanying map that traces their route. In a unique approach in 2010, three-quarters of a century after the couple’s trip to Switzerland, Killeen documents the exact scenes that are recorded in the album as they appeared on the exact dates 75 years later.
Beginning with the purchasing of the album for less than £10 the story charts the retracing of steps in the couples’ journey and the revelations that unfold highlighted in the a multitude of changes that can be observed today in the environmental, historical, and sociological landscape.

Performance begins at 7pm on Friday the 29th and 30th of July, duration of the performance will be an hour and 45 minutes with an intermission.
