TRESPASS is a collaborative art project which combines two artists (Aoife Desmond and Seoidín O'Sullivan) divergent practices. Together they investigate and intervene in disused urban space. They research and reveal the delicate balance between nature and the built environment. ‘Trespass’ investigates the different issues around land use and ownership through documentation and performative actions. This project was initiated in Dublin where the two artists are based. They worked in several sites between 2005-2008. They participated in Rirkrit Tiravanija's The One Year Project at The Land in 2008 where they developed a new body of work in response to their time there. They have published two books recording there projects
