Description
Troubled Land by Troubled Land is a powerful and poignant work of photography that explores the complex landscape of Northern Ireland during the height of the 'Troubles'. This iconic project, first published in 1986, combines stunning images of the natural world with subtle hints at the conflict and division that lay beneath. Through his photographs, Paul Graham reveals the often-overlooked details of the land itself - painted kerbs, distant soldiers or helicopters, flags and graffiti, paint-splattered roads. These seemingly innocuous images are, in fact, potent symbols of allegiance and dispute, revealing the unsettled nature of this troubled land. Originally published thirty-five years ago, Troubled Land has had a lasting impact on landscape photography, challenging traditional approaches to the genre and paving the way for future generations of photographers to explore the intersection of politics and society.
