About the photobook:
The book which includes an essay by the artist, combines two works that focus on land reform, borders, and the design of space. ‘Líne’, a series of colour photographs shot over a number of years, explores the reinforced hedge boundary of a small farm in Ireland where Keating grew up. The text-based series, ‘Not all battlecries are meant to be heard’, is a collection of slogans taken from annual reports and social media platforms that have been engraved on steel plates; photographed in a gallery setting, each recontextualises the values and visions of corporate landowners. The juxtaposition of the two works emphasises the temporal nature of a world always in flux and the ongoing efforts to control it.
Artist Bernadette Keating with Photo Museum Ireland assitant curator Darren Campion.
