Graham avoids explicit representations of violence in these images. The photographs initially appear to depict prosaic towns: rain-soaked, common-place settings with rolling hills below cloudy skies. It is not until closer inspection that a viewer discovers, for example, a kerb painted with the Irish Tricolour, or a Union Flag flying atop a tree. In one seemingly mundane seaside image, a viewer follows the diminishing lines of a road, and discovers the unsettling scene of a road-side stop-and-search. These vignettes are fragments of one volatile, violent, and bitter whole. All is the subject of dispute, and Graham’s images reveal how the ‘Troubles’ permeated the entirety of both rural and urban life in Northern Ireland.
