Noel Bowler
Union
From Gdansk in Poland where Solidarnosc was formed in 1980, to SIPTU in Dublin, Irelands largest trade and technical union, these photographs hint at the immense workings of power and the ideology of human decision making that occur within these office walls. This work attempts to offset the very public persona of the mass solidarity movement, to a more organised constructed thinking within an environment which serves to envelop the true workings of a powerful few. It is within this context, at a time of increasing economic turmoil, worker insecurity and ever rising levels of unemployment, the work of the Union movement has never been so relevant and visible for so many throughout the world.
