Same Difference
These photographs explore two traditions that to the outsider seem remarkable similar but to each other are fundamentally different. What are these differences? Are they visible to untrained eyes? To reframe and represent the familiar in an unfamiliar setting, this exhibition shows photographs of a Catholic church St Patricks on Donegal Street Belfast in a Protestant church Redeemer Central 100 meters along the same street. And the photographs of the Protestant building in a Catholic space. This street, often bombed during the Troubles, has in recent years become infamous as the scene of sectarian protests and riots. The location of this exhibition and these photographs ask do we see what is there even when it is somewhere else? If we invest material things with emotion do they become icons.
