Remnant Ecologies by Jony Easterby

In partnership with Dublin Fringe Festival and National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Axis was delighted to present Remnant Ecologies by Jony Easterby, a unique experience as part of our #Axis21 series of celebrations, projects and events. Remnant Ecologies is a meditative and immersive night-walk, guiding audiences through a series of light and sound installations, exploring Dublin' iconic Botanic Gardens, open to the public at night for the first time. 

“Responding to our relationship within the natural world, these intimate artworks explore the cultural remnants humans have created through our love of nature. Empty bird cages, a playful song, the insides of cuckoo clocks and fragments from botanical dictionaries are intertwined, telling their story through unforgettable sound and light installations in the serene surroundings of the gardens after dark. This is one artist’s attempt to make sense of a world, in which a passion for nature is mixed with an anxiety for its future.” Jony Easterby
