This work is a study of space, in particular the functional spaces of the theatre. Below the stage, they act as a metaphor for the staging of reality that underlies contemporary life. This normally hidden machinery, what really drives the spectacle, serves as a stand-in for the unseen social and psychological forces that shape our lives.
The trap rooms come in many varieties, but the common denominator amongst them all, is how they deliver an illusion. They work towards creating a form of reality that appears more real than reality itself.
In a philosophical sense they ask questions about the nature of observable reality, what we see is never just what is seen, but merely all that is available to us.

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.
You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.
