Kevin Gaffney, b.1987

Everything Disappears2014

Everything Disappears revolves around four people from Taiwan who answered a call to participate in the film, which would explore ideas of self-image, performance and identity on screen. Portrayals of the four participants unravel across intimate scenes to surreal staged events, mediating an exchange between reality, reconstruction and mythological imagination.

This work is linked to the MExIndex website, an innovative online resource containing a wide range of experimental film and artists’ moving images works by Irish and Irish-based artists: https://www.mexindex.ie/
