A series of images by Wilkie Doherty and his series should Belfast and the grain of the image: a poetics of future history in some 'new' photographs.
In each photography it is always taken from the middle of a street/ road or avenue. Doherty was influenced by w a mccutcheon who took photographs in Belfast who's asking tends to a ou using people in his photographs so Dohertys work would not look out of place in mccutcheon's archive. Doherty produced sever and isolate photographs which shows sever has been taken and cropped so you can not tell that it is Belfast as it has no surroundings and isolate then shows a bridge seperating the Catholics and non Catholics an showing the recognition of the political and religious events. The words on these photographs are whit over black and white photograph makes it look more contemporary. He wanted to show the ghettoisation of Catholics and then the same happening with gay and lesbian community and the prejudism within Belfast and shows big political changes.
All the images are closed environments, desolate and empty and he has used other photographs to build on the history of photography of his work. There is a lot of historical ghosting in his work which has a big impact on audience.
