Manifesta purposely strives to keep its distance from what are often seen as the dominant centres of artistic production, instead seeking fresh and fertile terrain for the mapping of a new cultural topography.

Installation at Musée national d'histoire et d'art and C.P.C.A.
Orla Barry’s video installation was formed by three different pieces. The video projection "A tear for a glass of water", depicted a monologue taken from the Irish artist's book Bitter Peacock and was accompanied by large colour photographic portraits of the artist’s friends. In the C.P.C.A, the artist presented "Blue Vols", a series of publications of isolated texts.
