Which Ireland?
We have asked writers, curators and photographers how Ireland should be photographed. Historian Erika Hanna wants to see images of happiness. Colin Graham is looking for a clear eyed way to photograph contemporary politics. Novelist Wendy Erskine wants to see many different things, including scaffolding, chefs on their break, uncanny landscapes and people listening. These, and the many other suggestions made, show the continuing eagerness to discover photographic ways to represent the contemporary world around us.
