The temporal relations between stillness and movement constantly drive Nora Duggan’s art practice. Taking the original Quadrangle building of NUI Galway as her subject, Nora compiled a series of digital photographs and videos over the past year, recording the movement of light, shade, colour and texture around the building and its surrounds. These images are then reconfigured, manipulated, cut and collaged together in order to investigate the elusive nature of time.
As she reaches the mid-point of her PhD at the Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway, Nora looks to Quad for evidence of how her research has progressed to date, but also to inform her future direction. The work raises questions in relation to how our experience of time can be informed/influenced/reflected through combined stillness and movement in digital imagery.
