A L T A R publication is realised and edited by Clodagh Emoe and Donal Lally, and designed by Alex Synge, working under the studio name The First 47.​ Through image and text, A L T A R presents the processes used to create this temporary artwork for Goldenbridge Cemetery—an infrastructure to encounter and reflect on the vibrancy of life in a place of death.

This publication brings writing that has inspired A L T A R and has emerged from the process of realising this work, including essays by writer Jesscia Foley, artist/educator Mick Wilson, author Lucy Jones, architectural historian Dr. Livia Hurley, plant folklorist Charlotte Salter Townshend, weaver and plant-dye specialist Kathy Mooney, artist/perfumer Erin Quinn and Siobhán Geoghegan of Common Ground.​ A L T A R features photographs by Kate-Bowe O’Brien and David Conway and film stills by artist/filmmaker Jenny Brady and Barry Lynch.

A L T A R was funded by the Arts Council of Ireland, Architecture Project Award in 2022 and supported by Common Ground, Dublin Cemeteries Trust and IMMA.
