Unsettlement
Unsettlement developed from the public performance project NONARNIA, reworking its materials, images and actions into a gallery installation. The work responded to the redevelopment of East Belfast and the symbolic transformation of the Newtownards Road area through C.S. Lewis Square.
Using scaffolding, monitors, found materials, performance documentation and the recurring image of the wardrobe, Unsettlement presented regeneration as an unstable structure: something built through fantasy, nostalgia, pressure and displacement.
The installation gathered traces of public action, humour and protest into a fragmented architectural form, reflecting on housing, class, memory and belonging in a changing city.
