In a relentless rollercoaster of images McDonagh offers keenly observed commentary from his fourth floor flat, juxtaposing the urban contemporary landscape with the Mayo of his youth. No sacred cows are safe as the absurd and surreal are seamlessly blended allowing Hamburg, Germany and Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo to be effortlessly thrown into the same mix.
