Akihiko Okamura: The Memories of Others
11 April until 6 July 2024
Opening 6.00pm on Thursday 11 April 2024
“Discover this remarkable exhibition which shows how Okamura’s fusion with his subject matter led him to create images which were innovative both in terms of his own practice and of the photographic representation of the Troubles. His profound, personal relationship with Ireland allowed him to develop a new method of documenting conflict: poetic and ethereal moments of peace in a time of war. Made in the North as well as in the South of Ireland from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, his photographs broke from the photojournalistic tradition, creating a series of still lives and abstractions. ”
