Paul Seawright From Fri. 15th October to Fri. 12th November Belfast Print Workshop Gallery Cotton Court, Waring Street, Belfast BT1 2ED Phone: 028 9023 1323
Paul Seawright is best known for his photographic works that deal with contemporary conflict. The screenprints made during his residency in Belfast Print Workshop are inspired by satellite photographs.
These photographs lay at the heart of the coalitions Weapons of Mass Destruction dossier, presented to the United Nations as evidence ahead of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Seawrights prints further abstract these ‘precise’ aerial photographs, acknowledging that photography is a slippery medium, suggestive of fact but grounded in fiction.
