One Power for All the Land

In One Power for All the Land, Declan Clarke examines the construction of the Ardnacruscha hydroelectric power plant in County Clare, Ireland, which came into operation in 1929, and reflects on the structure in the context of the burgeoning modern nation-state era. Clarke’s work is shaped by a deep interest in possible (counter)histories that could shed light on aspects of our contemporary culture, categories and organisation. Through extremely precise and sober elements, he creates a sense of a common ground where Ireland’s past offers insight into our future.
