- 90k word monograph that uses photography to provide a new approach to twentieth-century Ireland. It argues that anxieties around seeing, keeping up appearances, and turning a blind eye were crucial to understanding Irish life. Each chapter uses a different type of image to explore how people used photography to share stories about their lives and hide secrets, ranging across a diverse set of sources including photograph albums, studio portraits, community photography, landscape photography, and documentary images. The book took nine years to complete, and is built on the study of material in 14 archives in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
