The Breathing Factory
Global industrial practices are characterised by ‘fleeting alliances’ (O’Riain 2000) – transient spaces as capital moves when and as required. In such an ephemeral and vulnerable context, “The Breathing Factory” (Edition Braus/Belfast Exposed 2006) critically addresses the role and representation of labour and global labour practices in the context of the Republic of Ireland’s newly industrialised landscape.
