introduction
SOUTHERN CROSS is the culmination of a long-term documentary project on contemporary Ireland. It explores the country's largest transformation in its history through images of the changing landscape from the construction site to the new financial district of the Irish Financial Services Centre (IFSC). It also presents the face of this change with portraits of the workers. SOUTHERN CROSS incorporates work from two series, site and prospect.
