Experiencing Interruptions?

Other Land

“A pilgrimage is a devotional practice consisting of a prolonged journey toward a specific destination of significance. It is an inherently transient experience, removing the participant from his or her home environment and identity.”

‘Other Land’ follows the path of Vittoria Farmer, a young Australian surfer recently arrived in Donegal as she journeys through the raw landscape and history of the West of Ireland.This voyage will engage the senses in a unique and powerful way as Vittoria experiences the Atlantic Ocean, the wild and ever changing elements and the ancient essence of Ireland for the first time.
