{"product_id":"inner-field-shane-lynam-new-irish-works","title":"Inner Field, Shane Lynam - NEW IRISH WORKS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere's a common visual vocabulary used to represent Dublin. Whether you agree with it or not, it shapes how the city is perceived externally. The narrative, which Lynam has been trying to weave together for the past four years, with \u003cem\u003eInner Field\u003c\/em\u003e, tries to go beyond the cliches sometimes associated with such a small city. While searching for a theme or topic he visited every corner of Dublin and tried to leave no stone unturned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process of looking for his next body of work became the work itself. The lack of defined parameters meant that he could shoot on a more instinctual level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt times the landscape was repetitive and boring, so my eye would focus on the banal shapes and forms sticking out on the street. I was drawn to the surrealism of what remained of the inner city. I was interested in the rhythm and rituals. I felt like a researcher or an archaeologist collecting objects and observations in the field, in order to bring them back, study and compare them with what I had collected previously. Patterns began to emerge which were then used as reference when I visited other parts of the city.\u003c\/em\u003e Although\u003cem\u003e Inner Field\u003c\/em\u003e may portray a fictional space, the lack of familiar landmarks does not make it any more or less true than the version of Dublin that has been cultivated in the collective psyche and reinforced by the media over the years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Shane Lynam \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShane Lynam (b.1980) is an Irish photographer based in Dublin.
