N2 - Their collaborative work is an ongoing exploration of the language of cinema and its relationship to political power and collective memory. Within the shifting political and cultural landscape of 2016, A History of Stone, Origin and Myth (2016) is a non-narrative essay film that draws unlikely connections between the creation of monuments, the material of stone, and the creation of memory and power. Shaped within the turbulent transition from the colonial to the postcolonial, and from the national to post-national, the film explores the space between individual memory and national history through the lens of political monuments found throughout Ireland that relate to the Irish rebellion, the 1916 Easter Rising, and the foundation of the state.
