Dunsmore filmed a video portrait of Christine in her back garden, outside her home in rural Galway; a home she self-built for her family. Video portraiture is a artistic methodology developed by Dunsmore over 20 years as part of her ongoing art practice, which involves artwork documents of key moments in recent history of Northern Ireland and its political figures. These intimate silent video portraits in AGREEMENT, 2004-2023 developed by Dunsmore are based on the artist’s interest in re configuring the boundaries of portraiture.
