Films

Many of Devlin’s installations begin with short films. As the films conclude, the audience passes through an aperture to enter her sculptural worlds. A sequence from Devlin’s recent installations includes the films that were part of Room 2022 from 2017 and Forest of Us from 2021. She made these in collaboration with Luke Halls Studio and Polyphonia.
