About Leaf Work
The virtual character you see on the LED screen is a lone, melancholic figure clad in oak leaves. She walks a simple circle, responding to the position of the sun and changing temperatures.
The character performs a lament for our heating planet and for the effects of accelerating human advances on the non-human world.

About Derrigimlagh Bog
The site for Mirror Pavilion, Leaf Work is the 4,000-year old Derrigimlagh Bog - an area of blanket peat bog in Connemara - situated just a few miles from Clifden on the Wild Atlantic Way.
Derrigimlagh Bog was the site of transmission of the first transatlantic radio signal from the Marconi station in 1907 and the site of Alcock and Brown’s first transatlantic plane crossing in 1919.

Getting There
Please allow approximately 1 hour and 30 mins to drive from Galway city, and 20 minutes to walk from the car park to the installation. If you have any mobility issues, please contact us on [email protected] as we are happy to help you plan your visit.
