Observing three protagonists in sessions with a psychoanalyst played by the legendary queer artist Hans Scheirl, the analysis meanders through a dreamworld of symbols, giving voice to transgender embodiments.

Blue I, II, III is concerned with the anxieties surrounding issues such
as gender and self-identity. It addresses traditional notions of gender norms through video portraiture, sound and installation. These videos, referencing Renaissance and Baroque painting and culture, feature bodies who do not conform to traditional gender binaries.
Bríd Murphy recently graduated from Limerick School of Art & Design. She has been selected for the 2019 Zurich Portrait Prize and she is the recipient of the NSF LSAD 2019 Graduate Award.
