Vague Symptom Clinic | Ciarán Ó Dochartaigh at Project Arts Centre

Event Details

Vague Symptom Clinic considers Ireland’s legacies of colonialism, partition, and state violence, and their relationship to intergenerational trauma and inherited chronic illness. The title is taken from the real-life NHS clinic that attempts to identify origins or causes of a range of indicators of disease, including weight loss, fatigue, brain fog and night sweats. Ó Dochartaigh makes sculptural installations with materials including blown glass, silicone, ice, lard, metal, diagrammatic images, sound recordings, electronic components and medical tools made of ceramic, marble, and granite.
