Présentation

The majority of my photographic art has dealt with violence (for example Badscapes 2000, On Violence 2001, Prison sheets 2005, Guns at home 2007 and Battered 2007). Within these projects in have depicted violence as a socially oriented phenomenon, both as a person to person matter and as a larger societal and structural issue.
Following this interest towards violence as a socially oriented phenomenon, my project in Belfast, Northern Ireland is concerned with the question how children live in the present post-conflictual situation, and how this officially bygone Northern Ireland conflict, the Troubles, possibly still affects them.
