This is [Not] a Place

This is [Not] a Place

In answer to the 2019 ISTD brief 'Lost', This is [Not] a Place charts the history of one rural area of Ireland and its loss of culture, heritage, population and language. This single case study represents a microcosmic example of what is happening throughout the country, and the world at large. As we move further towards globalisation and mass-production, peculiarities and tradition fade into our past, giving way to a homogenisation of culture and place, leaving a trace of what once was. The title references the anthropological phenomenon of 'non-place', and questions what we consider to be worthy of the status
of 'place'.
