The Fragmented Mind 

Seven Responses

 

In this pamphlet, seven writers based in Belfast respond to the exhibition The Fragmented Mind that was on show in the MAC in the summer of 2018, which included a moving image installation 'Every Thought There Ever Was' by Lindsay Seers, and an immersive audio work 'Listening to Work' by Pedro Rebelo, among other pieces. This pamphlet was printed in a limited run of 75, in association with the MAC.
