RVB extract (first 10 minutes). Cleary Connolly

This narrative piece, somewhere between home movie, documentary and experimental film, was premiered as a 3 screen video installation in the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris in March 2004. The version presented at Tulca this year is a single screen HD installation. Using a series of connected texts and images, RVB was filmed over three years. The events take place in our home on Boulevard Barbès in the north of Paris. RVB tells three true stories: R is a murder story, V is a nature story and B is a childrens story. Each story takes a couple as its subject: René and Claire, two local shopkeepers; Vera and Igor, two Japanese nightingales; and Bo and Lotti, our twin daughters.

With support from the Département de lArt dans la Ville (Mairie de Paris) and the Mairie du XVIIIe arrondissement, Paris.
The Installation is now part of the Arts Council of Irelands Permanent Collection.
