EXPERIMENTS
The Eile Project has developed as a series of
Experiments that we have carried out over a period of years, some with and some without, our children.
Experiment #5
Slieve Rusheen / Becoming-Bog / August 2018
For the fifth experiment Eile spent time with Slieve Rusheen, a mountain which traverses the border between County Cavan in the Republic of Ireland and County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
Experiment #4
Eile and the Lobster / June 2018
Intra-species / lobster / Beckett /
Experiment #3
Belleek & Loch Melvin / November 2017
In this Experiment, we created an audio-visual film,
The Territories of Eile. We explored new regions of the borderland in Belleek and around Loch Melvin, and captured a series of Eile's bordering rituals.
Experiment #2
Near Kittyclogher / Easter school holiday, 2017
At a rural, riverside borderzone, where the border runs through the centre of the County River, we asked our children to imagine their own border fictions. Our 7 year old spoke of an underworld, beneath the river, and we made a portal through which to access it. Our 5 year old devised a border tower.
Experiment #1
Muff to Strabane / Summer 2011
Borderlines took place over the course of a single day. Paula, Sam, our 1 year old, 9 year old and 2 month old drove and walked over/across/to/between/beside/on top of/beyond/around/away from the border.
