Conor Harrington short film on Aeon Film, by closeencounters on Jul 27, 2014 20:16:01 GMT 1, This is from 2012, so I'm not sure if folks will have seen this already - but I thought I'd share it as it's new to me. Not much detail to accompany it though, so if anyone has any further details about this trip it would be great to hear... spotted some ESPO pieces in the background so looks like Vardø has been visited before, but nothing comes to mind in terms of projects or art festivals.
Anyways, here's the link and background info...
Old Norse
Vardø in Norway feels like a town forgotten by time. Its colourful houses stand in an overgrown field of weeds, overlooking a bay where the seagulls outnumber the people. For the Irish-born artist Conor Harrington, this town is both an inspiration and a canvas. Painting the walls of its abandoned, crumbling buildings, he applies the techniques of graffiti art to images inspired by the Old Masters, bringing a modern aesthetic to a timeless place. In Old Norse, the UK filmmaker Andrew Telling follows Harrington through Vardø, documenting his artistic process, and the landscape that inspires it.

In my opinion CH is a genius, and this just backs that up further.
