The project documents views from across the town and the ways the Troubles has scarred it. Identity and place are the paint and canvas on which the conflict has painted itself, and through large and medium format cameras, this project captures the ways in which these markers exist alongside day to day life and inside the place of day to day life. Spaces are given meaning by the way they are used, and in this project, attention is given to the ways spaces are used to show identity, mark territory, memorialise the dead, and put forth a political manifesto.
A deeply personal project that explores a place that is simultaneously an ordinary town, and the site of a tragedy, Enniskillen is a look into an Ireland that is not often photographed or discussed. It takes seriously the lives people lead in rural areas, and the conflicts that have taken place there, and provides a space for discussions about how a post-conflict society can not just decide it has moved on from conflict, but actually move on by looking at the ways the conflict continues to exist within both our minds and our spaces.
Flags, murals, graffiti, posters, and memorials decorate Enniskillen, and in this project they are photographed as they exist alongside the spaces in which people live, and in the spaces they are placed. Enniskillen is not just a project exploring the effects of a tragedy or a conflict, the ways identity exists in the aftermath, but a project documenting the way the town exists now for future generations to look back on.
Images from Enniskillen will be exhibited as part of the Arts University Bournemouth’s Summer Show from the 28th June to the 6th July and at OXO Tower Bargehouse from the 11th to the 16th July as part of Bellows Collective. Images from this project were also shortlisted for New Contemporaries 2024.
