VOTE NO.1
Photographs/Bookwork 2015
The Irish landscape was littered with electoral campaign advertising during the recent European, local and national by-elections. 'Vote No. 1' documents this and examines the culture of election advertising in Ireland. The series focuses on the accidental, and often gruesome, disfigurements the electoral candidates' faces suffer - an unintended consequence of their posters' erection.
Vote No.1 was winner of the Vienna Photobook Award and shortlisted for the Luma Dummybook Award, Arles and the PhotoEspana Photobook of the Year. It is held in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum (Ney York, USA), Tate Modern (London, UK) and the NAtional Art Library at the V&A Museum (London, UK)
