What does difference look like, these photographs explore two traditions that to the outsider seem remarkably similar but to each other are fundamentally different. What are these differences? Are they visible to the untrained eye? To reframe and represent the familiar in an unfamiliar setting, this exhibition shows photographs of a Catholic church St Patricks on Donegal Street Belfast in a Protestant church Redeemer Central 100 meters along the same street. And the photographs of the Protestant building in a Catholic space. This street which has been officially designated an interface, was often bombed during the 70’s and 80s, and has in recent years become infamous as the scene of protests and riots about symbols and territory. The location of this exhibition and these photographs ask do we see what is there even when it is somewhere else? If we invest material things with emotion do they become icons.
