Once Upon A Time has been created for Lovestock, a time based art exhibition in The Atrium, Temple Bar Gallery & Studios, curated by Emer Marron. The audio for this video is taken from an earlier project Beautiful Soup (2012) and the stark social realistic drawings contrast sharply with the child’s escapist narration. Once Upon A Time takes us out of the child’s perspective and represents a reimagining of the story by an objective onlooker. Using Cine-Roman techniques, we see the story anew as a magical realism escape. Once Upon A Time recognises the power of imagination to transform ugly social realities.
