As I Went Down To The River Styx
As I Went Down To The River Styx
A selection of images from the exhibition, book and video collaboration between Douglas Ross and Ciara Ryan. Informed by the myth of Persephone. This project extended from April 2016 to August 2017. Ciara and I scripted the stills and video and shot the work over 8 days, mainly in Leitrim. The accompanying book is available through Blurb books and the video can be viewed through the link:

Leon Quinn of Reverb Studios edited the video and there is a beautiful original music score by Paul McCormack.
