Taking as a starting point the location of the death of the last Irish wolf in 1786, three photographic positions are presented, made in and around the mountain.
The night sky above the mountain is recorded with a consumer digital camera and with little resulting image. Using software, the image is delved into to draw out the image of the stars, this also highlights the technical structures within the recording device, remaining as a veil between viewer and stars.
A high-powered laser projects the constellation Lupus (The Wolf) into the sky directly above the mountain where the last Irish wolf was killed in 1786. As this constellation only exists naturally in the southern hemisphere, its presence is astronomically impossible and highlights a temporary and unsustainable placement of the wolf form above the surrounding landscape where nature and urban development collided.
