Plots(1)

An animate documentary about restoring ancient folk furniture in the Irish countryside, and about related memories. This ethnographic experiment takes a perceptive look at family artefacts and all signs of a different era, projected into 16 cupboards, closets, trunks and hangers. Memories of the arrangement of decoration, plates, and cups create microworlds of kitchens and living rooms filled with furniture that has lasted five generations.
