Freddie Phillipson: The Ulysses Project (Video)
On Bloomsday 2026—the single day on which James Joyce’s Ulysses takes place—Freddie Phillipson presented and discussed drawings of Dublin as experienced in the novel, taken from his twenty-year exploration of Joyce’s landmark text.
During the evening, Phillipson’s working and finished drawings were displayed in the Drawing Matter archive and he read from the manuscript of his book, which explores the hidden backgrounds to the novel, reconstructs lost buildings that underpin its thoughts and themes, and asks: what is architecture?
