Transcendent Documents | Group Exhibition at Rosses Point

The American photographer Walker Evans (1903-1975) first referred to photographs as ‘transcendent documents.’ Evans believed that photographs could have recognisable content, resonance, and cultural meaning and still stand for or evoke a state of mind. The exhibition of Transcendent Documents will feature four Irish photographers working with images using a sense of place to evoke a particular state of mind.

Cairde Sligo Arts Festival has invited photographers who have made photographic bodies of work in the North-West and West, including Jill Quigley (Co. Donegal), Linda Brownlee (Co. Mayo), Kenneth O’Halloran (Co. Clare) and Yvette Monahan (Co. Sligo)
