Shane Hynan’s Beneath | Beofhód, is a landmark,
decade-long project exploring the social, cultural,
historical and ecological importance of peat bogs
in the Irish Midlands.

‘Beofhód’, an Irish word meaning ‘life beneath the
sod’, evokes the primal and totemic significance of
bogs in Celtic tradition. This metaphorical exploration
of pre-Christian reverence for elemental energies is
grounded in Hynan’s commitment to exploring evolving
conversations around environmental justice and our
shifting relationship to these unique landscapes.

Drawing on Hynan’s authentic connection with his local
community and region, the work traces the remnants of
industrial peat harvesting, which brought substantial
economic benefits and helped forge a strong sense of
cultural identity and purpose in the area.
