Re-imagining a conflict. Belfast/Derry 07/08
This series explores the double dimension that characterizes the Northern Ireland's conflict, inviting to think about other dualities generated by the human nature itself or through the influence of the memory in the understanding of the present. A powerful iconography has emerged to respond to a political situation. These symbols created during or after "The Troubles" are still up in the streets of Belfast and Derry and they are displaying explicit and implicit messages to residents and visitants. I have used the double exposure technique, photographing in the same frame the murals or architectural icons up on the streets and the residents passing next by, melting past and present and exploring stories more subtle about former and potential conflicts.
