Gaffney worked closely with the participants: formulating scenes together in a collaborative process and filming each participant in their home. The film unfolds across Taiwanese cityscapes and intimate portraits in seven chapters: (i)<em>\u00a0Everything Disappears<\/em>, (ii)\u00a0<em>I Grip Tightly to the Sand<\/em>, (iii)\u00a0<em>An Exercise in Forgetting<\/em>, (iv)\u00a0<em>The Elephant on the Roof<\/em>, (v)\u00a0<em>They are Known by Many Names<\/em>, (vi)\u00a0<em>The Ghost Ship<\/em>, and (vii)\u00a0<em>The Closed Eyes of a Stranger<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style26 style29 style31 style36\" align=\"justify\">The central chapter,\u00a0<em>The Elephant on the Roof<\/em>, is spoken by a voice actor and tells of a young gay man\u2019s stay in a psychiatric hospital in order to escape military conscription. As an unseen fifth participant, his story describes needing to perform his mental illness in order for it to be observable by doctors, and the deterioration of his grasp on reality that followed. <a href=\"https:\/\/visualartists.ie\/vam-july-august-2014-kevin-gaffney-describes-residency-taipei-artist-village-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more about the project here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=&#8221;9&#8243; gal_title=&#8221;Everything Disappears&#8221;]\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Everything Disappears<\/em>&nbsp;was created on residency at the Taipei Artist Village, Taiwan, and supported by the Arts Council of Ireland\u2019s Film Project Award.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background\"\/>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/caoimhin.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ac-funding-the-art-of-film-ke-rgb-black.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-933\" style=\"width:268px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caoimhin.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ac-funding-the-art-of-film-ke-rgb-black.png 1016w, https:\/\/caoimhin.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ac-funding-the-art-of-film-ke-rgb-black-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/caoimhin.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ac-funding-the-art-of-film-ke-rgb-black-768x212.png 768w, https:\/\/caoimhin.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ac-funding-the-art-of-film-ke-rgb-black-600x165.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-pink-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2dae02483c8b2e1dda30a6819b47cee9\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything Disappears (16mins, Mandarin with English Subtitles, 2014) was filmed in Taipei with four participants (Revanshu, William Hsu, Lucie Chen &amp; Issac Tsai) who answered an open call to perform in a film exploring self-image, identity and relationships.
