Adela Passas is an Irish artist specialising in sculpture, video, sound and installation. In 2021 she graduated from TUS Limerick School of Art and Design with first class honours in BA (Hons) Fine Art, Sculpture and Combined Media. On leaving college Adela was awarded the National Sculpture Factory Graduate Award (2021), the Miscreating Sculpture Studio Graduate Award (2021) and was shortlisted for the RDS Visual Arts award (2021). Adela was involved in the collaborative ‘EVA International Park Life project’ (2020-2021) and has shown work in ‘RALLY’ Limerick School of Art and Design degree show online (2021) and ‘Field Test’ (2020) a remote moving image screening.
Adela was awarded the NSF’s three-month residency bursary for a graduate of Sculpture & Combined Media from TUS Limerick School of Art & Design in 2021.
My current studio practice combines media and processes such as drawing, writing, photography, video, sound and object making which largely resolves in site specific installations. Through this I explore Michel Foucault’s concept of the heterotopia, or ‘other worlds’ that mirror our own in order to comment on societal structures and functions of our reality. Drawing from religion, consumerism and marketing, the narrative of my heterotopic installations lies somewhere between reality and fiction. By performing hypothetical realities within a space, my work aims to comment on our present, whilst asking “what if?” in an attempt to deal with an uncertain future.
