Boundless Seams explores the work of New York–based designer and embroidery specialist Laura Weber, the artist’s sister, and the first independent designer to create uniforms for Ireland’s Olympians, presented at the 2024 Paris Games. The film is situated alongside the centenary of Ireland’s first appearance as a Free State at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924.
Beyond the historic context, the film observes the daily rhythms and relationships that sustain a life’s work across different careers. It traces the intersection of seemingly distinct fields of embroidery and sport, united by movement, dedication, and care. Through expressive filmmaking and sonic composition, Boundless Seams brings these worlds into dialogue.

Presented at Lifeworld in New York, this performance unfolds as a looping encounter in which time slips between beginning and end. Two performers move through shifting roles, tracing intimacy through repetition and humour.
Blending choreography, dialogue, and sound, the work develops through short, mundane exchanges in which everyday objects like tables, tulips, food, and keys act as markers of memory and tension.

Through drawing and text, the collective constructed non-linear narratives in response to Cecilia Bullo’s exhibition “Being Haunted By the Breezes, Now How Will You Exist?”. These responses evolved into expanded storyboards and acted as prompts when developing costumes and performances. For one morning in the month of March, the RHA reserved their main gallery exclusively for the collective to perform and express their work through the exhibition space, this event formed the film Hek Hek Hoo.
Screened at ‘Living Canvas’, Wilton Park, Dublin.
Hek Hek Hoo takes inspiration from the exhibition “Being Haunted By the Breezes, Now How Will You Exist?” by Cecilia Bullo at the RHA, 2023. Commissioned by the RHA as part of the RHA Kids Art in Education Initiative is supported by IPUT Real Estate.

This new short film, titled The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming, by film director Julie Weber takes its departure from the live outdoor work, Night Shift by artist Liliane Puthod, at IMMA. Connecting both Weber and Puthod’s interest in circadian rhythms, the film explores how the experience of environments becomes heightened and strange at night, under a combined cloak of darkness and exhaustion.
Weaving elements from Puthod’s research into the uncanny experience of a night-guard worker at IMMA, inspired by a 19th century drawing, Weber captures a surreal and absurd journey traced through the museum grounds. By constructing a familiar, yet non-linear pilgrimage, the film evokes dream-like sensations through abrupt teleportations and pareidolic visuals.
Weber responds to Jean Epstein’s theory of rhythm, whereby a film work epitomises new types of movements and rhythmic behaviours as a reaction against everyday ever-changing modernisations. In this way, The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming examines the development of our now 24- hour days and evolved nocturnal communities - both in physical form and beyond.
The Supremacy of Mathematical Dreaming (2023) was commissioned by IMMA as part of IMMA Nights 2022–2023. Night Shift (2022) by artist Liliane Puthod was commissioned by IMMA for Culture Night 2022 as part of A Radical Plot Residency.

This work took place over 12 months, collaborating with Climate Change Researcher and Environmental Scientist James Mulcahy, a local of Blarney who has been working with Brand Blarney for the past two years. Julie Weber also collaborated with musician Holly Munro over an 8-month period. Weber responded to the site through text and performance, which was then mediated, restructured, and reinterpreted by Holly Munro. The text, constructed and deconstructed through the changing seasons, also incorporated words from community members throughout the process. The work ultimately materialised as a pop song, which was gifted to the fen, adding a new layer to the narrative of this historic location.
