Barry Hughes: Endgame (26 September 2005)
colour, audio, 22 seconds, 2007
uploaded 17 July 2007

The short digital animation Endgame (26 September 2005) is a complementary work to the printed project Statement (28 July 2005) featured in Circa issue 119 (Spring, 2007). The works are part of an ongoing project revisiting the subject of IRA decommissioning in 2005.

Endgame (26 September 2005) is comprised of several colour photographs taken of General John De Chastelain as he answered questions live on television, from the international media following his physical inspection of Irish Republican Army weapons being put “permanently beyond use” as outlined in the IRA statement of July the same year. The audio is taken from the same press conference, where the General answers questions regarding the sincerity and validity of the IRA's claims as compared to his personal inspections over the year. As with Statement (28 July 2005), particular words from the dialogue are presented to the viewer. The power words here relate a definite placement of the speaker as witness and assert his position as irrefutable in his historical activities. While he answers the question in a typically longwinded fashion, the answer is ultimately one of simplicity and unwaveringly positive: yes.

Earlier projects


Garrett Phelan - "friendlyghosts"

"friendlyghosts" is a Flash 5 online art work. This project functions as a biographical text translator. Relevant text is loaded into the web page using Flash programming techniques and is automically translated into a preconstructed language of sound and image developed by the artist during the creation of a wider body of work entitled "Nomenclature".

The text information which is being translated will change regularly as the project continues, displaying different sequences of images.
The artist gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Flash programmers Stephen Fahy and Paul Harris during the production of this work.
