Paul Moore

Caught two exhibitions in Belfast before they close by artists who are members of or have undertaked residencies with Digital Arts Studios (@das_belfast ). Firstly, 'Intangible Bodies', by Paul Moore @paulmoore at @universityofatypical will close on 28 April. Paul has recently returned from a residency with @guesthouse_collective in Cork, partnered with @art.arcadia.ltd in Derry, so it’s really interesting to see how his work across video, sound, and performance continues to explore journeys through borders, technologies, and landscapes. The exhibition is a projection-mapped installation that turns the gallery into something you move through rather than just look at. The work plays with perception, delay, and attention, layering video footage with 3D models and meshes across four projection surfaces. It suggests experiences of neurodiversity and invisible disability, and I found myself constantly adjusting, trying to locate meaning in something intentionally unstable. Thanks @z.lyness for setting things up and the catch-up. Then I visited 'Blink', DAS Annual Review (closing 25 April) at @pssquaredbelfast Featuring work by Alannah Bates (@alannah.ruth ), Catherine Chapman (@meminine ), Silvia Koistinen (@silviakoistinen.art ) Vanissa Law (@vanissalaw ), and Anna Vidamour (@anna.vidamour.art ), this show feels like a snapshot of now, even Trump features but can be controlled through gestures. Glitch, drift, fragmentation, but also a reminder that even in all that instability, the body still finds ways to orient itself. Thanks @davymahon (project curator at PS²) for the welcome, and Catherine Devlin for keeping me on track as always. Really proud to be part of @das_belfast XR Labs and to see such thoughtful, challenging work coming out of the studios. If you’re nearby, go see these exhibitions before they’re gone next week #DigitalArtsStudios #Exhibition #ContemporaryArt #InstallationArt #Neurodiversity #ArtCommunity #BelfastArt #ImmersiveArt

Artist Spotlight: Paul Moore In The Path (2024), Paul Moore @paulmoore examines the body as data and our symbiotic relationship with technology as it mediates memory, experience, and place. Using wearable technologies, the work reflects on how infrastructure preserves and documents our visceral encounters with the world. Based in Belfast, Moore works across video, sound, and performance, often exploring journeys through borders, technologies, and landscapes. His durational and immersive works investigate the interplay between endurance, motion, and memory, weaving together personal experience and socio-historical narratives. His projects have been presented at venues including the Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin), Golden Thread Gallery (Belfast), and CCA Derry. See his work in “Affective Territories, Alternate Belongings” at Torrance Art Museum, Aug 23–Sep 27, 2025. @torranceartmuseum #AffectiveTerritories #AlternateBelongings #TorranceArtMuseum #VideoArt #ThePath #PaulMoore #ContemporaryArt #ExperimentalFilm #VideoInstallation #ProspectArtInline image

Last morning in Marrakesh. I slipped through the Jardin Majorelle — the air thick with cobalt. The palms stood like dancers mid-pose, and the colours sang. Painted doors, woven walls, sun-dappled paths — each surface holding a story, not to tell, but to feel. These textures — of light, wood, shadow, and green — reminded me that home isn’t just a place, but a rhythm. A quiet kind of ceremony. A soft resistance. A thread pulled through time. Is ann a bhraith mé ciúnas domhain, agus rince na dathanna. هُنا وجدتُ الصمتَ العميق، ورقصَ الألوان. #Marrakesh #JardinMajorelle #MajorelleGarden #YvesSaintLaurentGarden #MoroccoTravel #MarrakechVibes #MarrakechPhotography #MoroccanAesthetics #MoroccanDesign #ArtistAbroad #ColourPoetry #VisualDiary #WanderSlow #CreativeJourney #QuietTravel #CulturalTextures #DesertToGarden

Back from the mountains and straight into the maze. Marrakech’s medina hit like a wave — colour, noise, scent, and spirit tangled in every step. #Marrakech #Medina #JemaaElFnaa #MoroccoTravel #MarketScenes #CityAfterMountains #TravelReflection #WanderingSouk #PostTrek #UrbanSprawl #ᴛʀᴀᴠᴇʟᴘʜᴏᴛᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ

A few days after the Tupkal summit I got to run the @trail_maroc 90k Amizmiz. Rugged trails through Moroccan foothills of High Atlas mountains it was only the 7th edition of race with proceeds helping local Berber people after 2023 earthquake. What a day starting at 4am a tough run but an inspiring adventure I DNF @ 61km - Not the finish I imagined, but the right one on the day. Early stomach issues, heat, and tough terrain made it hard to stay in the race mentally. I ran where I could, walked where I had to, and took in the landscape when it asked me to slow down. At checkpoint 8 I had a kip on a prayer mat and watched the officials pick mint from the hills before returning to the race village and chilled by the pool No medal, but no regrets. الحمد لله — Alhamdulillah. Check out the Ultra Trail Morocco video with a special cameo 🤣 https://youtu.be/X-AQ3cXx7Qc?si=99sQDQpiLXs_vRT3 #UltraTrailAmizmiz #TrailRunning #MoroccoMountains #DNFbutNotDefeated #RunWithRespect #MountainMiles #EnduranceRunning #NeurodivergentAthlete #UltraRunnerLife #BreatheMoveListen

A breathtaking journey up Mount Toubkal — through harsh rocky trails scattered with ancient juniper, we passed remote Berber villages — one centred around a sacred white boulder where locals still pilgrimage to honour a marabout, a holy figure buried beneath. The trail turns into a mule highway at times, hauling food and blankets to base camp for hikers. In the early hours, under a dark sky lit only by the moon, we made our final push to the summit. Snow underfoot, stars overhead — a silent, Numinous, climb into the clouds. Thanks to our great guide Abdule and the hospitality of Dar Adar Check the route on Strava https://strava.app.link/A4c671a4fTb #Toubkal #HighAtlasMountains #Marabout #MoroccanPilgrimage #AtlasTrek #BerberVillages #SacredLandscapes #MoonlightHike #MountainJourney #BaseCampLife #HikeMorocco #SpiritualTrails #MountainPilgrims #trailmarrakech #landscapephotography

Waking up in Imlil, a Berber village nestled deep in the High Atlas Mountains, just before our ascent toward Toubkal. The air was crisp, the light golden, and every stone house and winding path felt etched with memory. This place felt like a threshold—between stillness and motion, between valley and summit. Grateful for these quiet, vivid moments before the trail called us upward. ⸻ #Imlil #HighAtlasMountains #Toubkal #BerberVillage #AtlasMountains #MoroccoTravel #MountainCulture #TrailLife #HikingMorocco #ToubkalTrek #SlowTravel #AdventureCulture #EthicalTravel #MountainViews #RifAndAtlas #WanderWithRespect #travelphotography #landscapephotography #ArtistOnTheTrail

From dusk till dawn in the heart of Marrakech. Smoke and stories rise into the night sky — a crowd alive with heat, rhythm, and restless energy. By day, it’s all bare outlines and silence, like memory settling into the architecture. As an artist, I’m always drawn to these thresholds — where the atmosphere thickens, where a place becomes performance, and the ordinary turns luminous. #JemaaElFnaa #MarrakechMoments #StreetScenes #NightAndDay #UrbanAtmosphere #TravelPhotography #MoroccoVibes #NorthAfrica #EverydayLife #DesertLight #CulturalRhythms #VisualPoetry #PlaceAndPresence #documentingexperience
