"A ROYAL WEDDING or How To Live Happily Ever After"

By The
collective "Five Eleven Ninety Nine" presented in conjunction with PhotoIreland festival 2011






Featuring work
of Hannah Lucy Jones, Jonny Cochrane, Maria de la Iglesia, Samuel Bland, Simone Massera and Teresa Cos, 51199 has transformed the Back Loft into a dark, immersive space, with six projections, fortune cookies and a recipe for happiness.

For PhotoIreland Festival 2011, the collective has created a collection of individual projects exploring the human quest for happiness in contemporary Western society. Everywhere people are dreaming of something more and better than what they currently have: aspiring to be more successful, to earn more, achieve more, be loved more – and thereby attain the state of happiness. A Royal Wedding is a metaphor for this very human characteristic. Each photographer has explored this area from a different angle, and the resulting projects use still photography, screenshots, video and sound, in the hope of encouraging reflection on how to live “happily ever after”.
Runs until Saturday 30th July, Daily viewing Monday to Sunday 11am-6pm.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE

Presented by: WHISKEY, TANGO & FOXTROT
13th-18th June, 8pm
E 10 admission

In the city of Vienna sin has run rampant...

But when long-time ruler Duke Vincentio charges the "incorruptible," Angelo with cleaning up the city a tragic train of events will be set in motion.

Angelo sentences a young man called Claudio to death for the crime of having a child out of wedlock; Claudio's sister, the virtuous Isabella,

comes to plead her brother's case and appears to succeed. But for Angelo Isabella's very goodness becomes an inescapable snare, and he is

driven to ever greater lengths in an effort to possess her...

Dark and surprisingly modern, Measure for Measure is one of Shakespeare's least performed and most fascinating plays. Mixing dark humour

with pathos and passion, it examined the ambiguity of the human condition and the fragility of goodness in a world without grace.
