LAST ACT | Marie Hanlon & Rhona Clarke at The MAC

Event Details

LAST ACT at The MAC, Belfast is a synchronized video installation by artist Marie Hanlon and composer Rhona Clarke. The work presents climate change as something both real and abstract, as such it mirrors the human response to a changing earth. Visual imagery draws on footage of real weather events, sequences are coordinated to make them different from daily media reportage. Opening and closing sections allude to industry and rise of emission levels following the industrial revolution. Rhona Clarke’s choral music takes its text from the latin poem Dies Irae, referencing the final judgement.
