The Lost Bride
The Lost Bride began in 2020 as a cathartic exploration of the artisits divorce through a series of photographs. It follows the Bride’s journey through grief and explores the loss of identity, that inevitably comes with the end of a relationship, and the search for a new sense of self.
We follow The Lost Bride through a series of photographs as she comes to life, spinning and twisting her way around an aerial hoop held up only by the weights of a small suitcase. To watch her is to feel as though you’ve taken a step in a dream only to find your foot sailing through the concrete, jerking you awake.
Created and performed by Aisling Ní Cheallaigh with music by Alma Kelliher. For all enquiries please use the contact form on the home page.
