Each performance will be accompanied by the work of Douglas O’Connor, a Dublin based photojournalist, who has spent a life time walking the streets of Dublin, camera in hand. Since the lockdowns began in 2020 he has continued to document the city in all of it’s nakedness, shy of people. Walk the quiet streets of Dublin through the eyes of O’Connor.
This series of images is taken from his book “Eat Yer Rent, Dublin Lockdown 2020” and can be seen at: https://www.blurb.com/b/10071236-lockdown-dublin-2020
