The theme of the exhibition is landscape and the way that an idyllically scenic country such as Ireland is treated by its populace. It aims to offer a series of images mapping a unique and modern vision representing the entire island. This vision does not necessarily depict Irish landscape in picturesque grandeur, instead it offers a modern and realist view of how Ireland is being shaped by the current population. Ultimately the images serve to illustrate the relationship between a land and its people. This relationship is more capricious at present than ever before, not just on an insular level but also on a global one. In documenting this impermanence the series attempts to present an archival snapshot of Irish landscape in the early 21st century.
