Event | Exhibition Launch- An Infinitely Dark Legacy at the International Centre for the Image

Event Details

PhotoIreland presents the Irish premiere of An Infinitely Dark Legacy by artist Lewis Bush at the International Centre for the Image.

The exhibition An Infinitely Dark Legacy is based on Lewis Bush’s photographic project and book Depravity’s Rainbow (2018-2023). The work examines the dark origins of modern rocketry during the Second World War and Holocaust, and charts the ways that this history continued to influence Cold War era space programs in the United States, projects on which much present day space exploration is in turn founded. Through these ideas, it examines the moral vacuum at the heart of contemporary space travel.
