What does it mean to die? Marie Brett talks about her new filmic artwork - Last Breath. The artist collaborated with palliative care specialists and researched Irish folklore traditions to create this special piece. It reflects the liminal space between being alive and dead using soundscapes echoing the ancient Irish practice of keening and utilising evocative visuals. She explains what she learnt through making the piece. (A still from 'Last Breath' pictured above)
