Referencing the 1983 documentary-style drama, ‘Threads’ considers some technological developments of the post-war period and their subsequent application in state command and control systems during the Cold War. Utilising video, installation and photography, this is a consideration of the relationship between the aesthetic of power and life as experienced under the perpetual threat of nuclear annihilation.
THREADS was presented in the Dock, Carrick-on-Shannon by TULCA Festival of Visual Art for Galway 2020 and was curated by Sarah Searson.
