2001 ForceIII & II (in Glucksman gallery, Cork Ireland)
'Force II & III' combined at the 'Lewis Glucksman Gallery' in Cork, Ireland
'Force' is a video installation that Peter Bogers has been presenting since 1996 in a continuously changing form. The origin is a fragile power-play between a clenched fist and a cupped hand. The hand and the fist are slowly rotating together and one after the other either the hand or the fist trembles in a mechanical way. Just when the quivering changes from the hand to the fist or vice versa, a strong flashlight is triggered off and lights up the screen. The slight ticking sound of the flashlight is heavily amplified.
In 2001 Bogers made 'Force III'. Thematically related to 'Force II' this new work uses the same external flashlight, lightning up the video-screen similar to the way it was used in Force II. The images are different though: On a patch of grass we can see a man fighting/playing with a boy (father and son) in extreme slow-motion. Every time the flashlight is triggered a new scene shows up, confronting the viewer with a new scene, in which the dividing line between playing and having a grim struggle is very thin and hard to distinguish. The sound of the flashlight is reduced to a slight electronic tick.

Cork, Ireland - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Cork
Top best places to visit in Cork, Ireland
Cork, the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland, lies in the south of the country.
In reference to the city’s role during the Irish Civil War Corkonians often refer to the city as “The Real Capital”.
The center of the city forms an island between two channels of the River Lee.
There are about thirty bridges over the North and South channels.
On the banks of the river is the National Monument.
On the island are located also many important buildings, such as:
The Courthouse.
The Holy Trinity Friary, a Roman Catholic church affiliated with the Capuchin.
The Triskel Arts Centre, an 18th century Church turned into the Center for Contemporary Arts.
The Opera House which has always housed performances of all types and the Crawford Art Gallery a museum dedicated to the visual arts.
And finally the City Museum, which is mainly focused on the history and archeology of the Cork.
Adjacent to the museum Fitzgerald’s Park is a perfect place for a walk and a rest.
There are important landmarks outside the main island as well, such as:
The City Hall, the administrative headquarters of Cork.
The magnificent St Finbarr’s Cathedral, a fine 19th century neo-Gothic church.
The central bell tower of the Red Abbey, one of the last remaining visible structures of Cork.
And the castle-like City Gaol, a restored 19th century former prison, which is now a museum.
Everybody can enjoy the variety of architecture at the University College Cork being open to the public.
A great example of modernist style is within the grounds of University, the Lewis Glucksman Gallery.
Having been active military and police barracks for more than 400 years, the Elizabeth Fort was a 17th-century defensive fortification on high-ground.
From there you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city.
Another good place to see the city from high up is from St Anne’s Church, which is on the other side of town.
