This video work forms part of a broader attempt to re-envision Irish cultural history in order to better understand the Now, to follow repressed lines of development that, if pursued, might have led Ireland out of its insular tendencies much earlier.

MacKenna is best known for his translation from Ancient Greek of Third century philosopher Plotinus.

A woman sweeps the floor, then hands the broom to a man: he sweeps a bit, and hands it back to her. In this film, named after Vasari’s biography of Giorgione, man and woman reenact Manet and Titian, switch places, and in so doing, exchange their nudity and the gaze that seeks it. In voiceover, a woman reads a letter telling of her efforts to sign up her daughter in daycare ; other kafkaesque situations follow, drawing wth humour the picture of a life of submission to an absurd administrative power. In the frame, birds and their choreographies echo the wanderings of the two characters in the Camargue countryside. (Nathan Letoré)
