Shelter

View a film of the installation on vimeo click here

This shelter installation built by people with experience of homelessness sits next to Dublin's Christmas tree & contributes to the Christmas atmosphere in Smithfield. It is lit with over 200 Led Christmas lights. Built by clients of the the Simon Community in December 2013, it is also possible to book it for corporate Christmas parties.

This seemingly voyeuristic approach is not only seeking to exhibit a shelter by homeless for homeless but the object also tells the life stories of homeless people.
At the end of January an recycled postcard sale by homeless people will be held in the Art Tunnel.
