A WILLOW (or without Godot), AUDIO PIECE, 2006, Vladimir, CLICK TO HEAR AUDIO

THE DUBLINER MAGAZINE: The stand-out piece is surely the stunning ‘A Willow (Or Without Godot)’ by Portuguese atist Alexandra do Carmo. Originaly created and exhibited in 2006 as part of IMMA’s residency programme, the artist takes of affirmative statements made by Estragon and Vladimir in the Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, and places them in the unusual context of soundbites on an ipod. She also gives the Godot bench a new twist by placing two futons on the ground, encouraging the viewer to engage in the work and lay down to listen to these script snippets on the ipod. The futons themselves are laid out upon gravel taken from IMMA’s grounds (including the ubiquitous cigatette buts), adding to the surreal nature of the installation.
