Willie Doherty: Buried
Willie Doherty is internationally celebrated for his work which includes photographs, video and film installations.
Whilst situated in the context of Northern Ireland’s contested political and geographical history, the themes and imagery running through his work have universal significance and appeal. They address issues of territoriality and surveillance, and elicit fears of the unknown, of isolation or entrapment, building an atmosphere of anxiety and suspicion. Doherty’s focus on place, on the landscape which can no longer contain its histories and memories, avoids simple resolutions, acknowledging instead that long histories never die.
This exhibition brings together a selection of Willie Doherty’s films and photographs, including a new film entitled, Buried. Exhibition organised by The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh.
