Cavity
Andrew Kernan
May 6 - May 31, 2025

The hidden networks of the city—its underground passages and forgotten cavities—arteries of life. These unseen spaces, like the body itself, function both as conduits for movement and as places where things are lost and found. Like the looping video of the Dublin Port Tunnel, these systems of passage—be it through the body, the city, or history—are not linear. They are cyclical, repetitive, never quite arriving at a destination, always looping back into the void, much like the act of excavation itself. History, like a drain or a cavity, is never fully emptied. It continually accumulates, decays, and re-emerges.

In this work, being highlighted is the tension between the visibility of spectacle and the invisibility of decay; between the polished, hyper-visible surface of the world and the overlooked, decaying underbelly that sustains it.
