'Here After', a black and white 16mm and 8 mm film made by Paddy Jolley, Rebecca Trost and Inger Lise Hansen, was shot in the empty flats in Shangan over several months in Winter 02/03. In February 04, the work was projected by 16 dvd projectors, onto the wall-papered and painted walls of four vacant flats on Shangan Road.
This quasi-elegiac document of the demise of the interiors of the vacated homes, verges on the morbid, the forlorn. However, through the gritty greys, blacks and dirty whites of the film, the discarded pieces of furniture seem liberated by the departure of people and come to life in a macabre dance amongst the dust and dereliction.
The film has been shown at the Rotterdam, Milan and Cork Film Festivals amongst others.
It is also part of the IMMA Permanent Collection.
