Description
A Woman Walks Alone At Night, With a Camera features photographs by Ruby Wallis and an essay by Phillina Sun, centered around the experience of walking at night as a woman. Designed by Eimearjean McCormack, the publication links to image and text through the figure of the flâneuse, framed here as a subversive, imaginative explorer who wanders the city according to her desire, deterritorialising an urban landscape traditionally seen as a male domain.
The publication visually and poetically engages with psychogeography through a feminist lens, thus addressing an urgent need for liberating representations constructed by a female gaze that confronts the issues women face when they walk in the city day or night.
Ruby Wallis is a visual artist who is based in Engage Art Studios, Galway. She lectures photography at The Burren College of Art and exhibits and publishes her work widely. Selected exhibitions include: The Lab,The Gallery of Photography, Belfast Exposed, The Dock, Vondelbunker- Amsterdam, Ormston House, TULCA, Perlman Teaching Museum, USA. Selected publications include The New Yorker magazine, British Journal of Photography, Winter Papers vol.6 and 7 .Wallis is on the board of directors, Engage Art Studios, Galway. She is a recipient of a Visual Arts Bursary Award, 2020 and Agility Award, 2021 from the Arts Council of Ireland. She was also awarded a residency by Centre Culturel Irlandais and Galway County Council, 2021. Upcoming exhibitions include Bones in The Attic, Hugh Lane, Gallery, and Opening The Gates, PhotoIreland Festival.

Between Spaces: Garry Loughlin
Whilst there is a photography tradition of documenting the American road trip, I felt that traveling by bike would expose me to opportunities and encounters that could be overlooked if travelled by car or bus. Taking a slower pace and being on my own speed allowed me, as an observer passing through small American towns, to see the beauty in the banality of everyday life. I feel the decision to cycle not only gave me a stronger connection the landscape but also to the people I met along the way.

The Edge of Europe by Anthony Haughey
PHOTOFILE: Found Photography
A side effect of the rise of photography as a popular art form has been the accumulation of a huge body of images whose photographers and subjects remain unknown. These include fascinating photographs—some almost masterpieces—that could easily have been lost if it hadn’t been for their chance rediscovery in libraries, archives, homes, and institutions.
This book presents a selection of these mysterious images that provides an alternative history of the medium. They portray a striking range of people, animals, and objects, captured in scenes that can be witty, touching, sinister, or surreal.
