Alan Phelan/Three stories Anglesea Street Garda station, Cork

The Intermedia festival tries to present part of its programme in unusual places

The Intermedia festival tries to present part of its programme in unusual places. Three Stories is on show at one of its most unexpected off-site locations for some time. Alan Phelan's video installation - a monitor and headphones - is almost ideal for the venue. Essentially, the video runs a series of "interviews" with residents of south Dublin, each recounting a scenario, encounter or observation.

They are mainly fictional, as the participants improvised. But these people, ranging from young fashion-conscious women through obsessive yuppies to lonely and disillusioned housewives, are not so much parodies as stereotypical portraits of real people. That the interviews are held in a Garda station is eerily analogous to the interrogations that take place in such a building, which makes the trite or glib sentiments expressed by some of the characters seem all the more like crimes. Of all the interviews, two are comically ironic, given the surroundings. One man, portraying a window cleaner, is suspected of a series of the Garda nabbed him to increase their arrest tally.
