“Lens of the Country Girl” moving image portraits by Louise Wallace.
Five colour image stills captured by members of the Traveller community display
an intimate first-hand account of the visual experienced as life as a young Irish Traveller in 2018. The images taken through a collaboration process between artist and Irish Traveller. The photos guide the viewer into another wise unseen seen world through halting sites, family and traditions. The work is merged with video
fragments that the artist has gathered through the learnt process of the collaboration dialogue. The works are presented in a salon hang of moving image and stills photography.
