Immersive Peatlands Experience
The Peatlands Immersive Installation explores the ecological treasures that are the peatlands and wetlands of Ireland and amplifies the extraordinary species found within. The installation combines animated paintings, photography, field recordings, sound sculpture and video into a transmedia essay narrated through the voice of the natural and built worlds. The installation features soundscapes and field recordings by Lisa Dowling Scott and stunning works by nature photographer Tina Claffey and visual artist Kathrine Geoghegan. Charleen Hurtubise is a contributing artist, curator and creative producer. Creative engineer Fergus O’Hagan brings all the elements together to create the stunning experience that is The Peatlands. The exhibition is being brought to Naas Library and Cultural Centre by LAWPRO and Kildare County Council’s Biodiversity Office, with the support of National Parks and Wildlife Service’s Local Biodiversity Action Fund and the Heritage Council’s Biodiversity Action Plan Fund.
