We Didn’t Move… is shot in Ireland: Montpelier Hill, Dublin a site with numerous UFO sightings.
It was also shot at a second location on the grounds of medieval Kilkenny Castle, capturing a cherry blossom tree which flowers for a brief time annually.

This work describes the impact of these occurrences on one individual’s life, bearing the weight of keeping it a secret. Shot on Super 8 Ektachrome 100D film.

Lucy McKenna's work is concerned with the observation and structuring/ restructuring of information systems that attempt to explain the universe and our place in it. Through varied mediums she traces different forms of data extraction, collection and communication developed by humans to understand existence; including methods of scientific experiment, technology, language, symbols, storytelling, intuitive belief, or myth. Using her visual art practice as a tool of information collection and data distillation, her works seek to unfold the information hidden in those spaces where the analytic and the intuitive concur. Her practice is a multidisciplinary one consisting of drawing, photography, film, installation, audio and sculptural works.
