Artist Statement

Red Light, a newly commissioned project by Redmond Entwistle, reflects on the indeterminate space that Belfast finds itself – in between the unfinished work of the peace-process, and the phantom promises of the market economy. The project brings together a gallery installation and three short films shown in cinemas around the city. Twelve previously unpublished photographs from Belfast Exposed’s archive are displayed in the main exhibition space at Belfast Exposed and integrated in a sound and light installation feeding live sound into the gallery from Belfast’s city centre. The images selected were taken in the early to mid-1990s and are photographs of large crowds, both Nationalist and Unionist, outside Belfast’s City Hall listening to speeches.
