A Map to Nowhere is an installation connected to the Liminal Lands project which explored the idea of liminality and thresholds within the context of the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. A group of artists affiliated with Queen's university journeyed along the border, creating work during this time and afterwards. This installation is inspired by Isobel's personal experience of this landscape and journey and explores related ideas such as personal mapping and psycho-geography.
The installation was shown at The Sonic Arts Research Centre in May 2010, and UP THE WALL in October 2010. You can explore this map by browsing through the images and film documentation below. Please also see on this website a page dedicated to Liminal Lands under the Projects drop down menu.
You enter a room alone to find a mess of objects, each one holding it's own story, memorials to their owner. Each marks a place, a time, an emotion.
Together they are a map, frozen in time, but brought to life by whoever wonders upon them.
