Step out of the light and into ‘Eternal Night,’ an immersive indoor art experience by internationally-celebrated Irish artist Maser.
This mysterious, maze-like installation encourages you to forget about the everyday and cross over into a realm where hyper-reality stirs deep curiosity.
Inspired by the dark visuals and themes from Bram Stoker’s work, ‘Eternal Night’ celebrates the underbelly of Dublin, showcasing the city in a light unseen. Maser, known for his vibrant and engaging artworks across the city’s streets, has wholly transformed this industrial/retail space, creating a temporary centre for discovery and intrigue in which he explores themes such as the joy of play, the ownership of shared spaces and the distinctive landscape of Dublin city.
Spanning 300 square metres, the gallery space becomes a playground for the senses. As you move through the installation, you’re not just an observer but a participant in this shared artistic exploration.
An original soundscape by music producers JonJon Mehigan and Dee Fitz completes this visual journey, guiding you through each segment with evocative sounds that enhance the overall experience of connection and discovery.
Space provided by McGarrell Reilly.
