'A house which is uninhabited is indeed not really a house.' - Karl Marx, Introduction to a Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy. My work questions the existence and function of Irelands ghost estates. Lingering since the economic crash of 2008, these sites of abandoned domestic aspirations exist between loss and regeneration in a time out of joint. As I move through the estates alone, with only the mechanical click of my Bronica interrupting the silence, I consider the ghostliness of these things, appearing in likeness to a house as a ghost appears in likeness to a body.
