Ireland: A Troubled Mirror

How do you image a culture? How does a culture image itself—especially one as splintered as Ireland’s in the time of “the Troubles?” “Ireland: A Troubled Mirror” offers provocative responses to these questions—through photographs made by Irish and non-Irish photographers over the last thirty years. Images capturing the archetypal, mythical, and the everyday Ireland, North and South, are enhanced by illuminating essays and the trenchant, metaphorical poetry of Paul Muldoon.
