Description
"Repetition is a feature of control systems. It creates a predictable and therefore secure environment. The Maze prison was a model of repetitive and systematic architecture. Its primary function was to contain and isolate. Opened in 1976 at the height of the Northern Ireland conflict, it held both republican and loyalist prisoners in its eight identical H-blocks. Through its history of protests, hunger strikes and escapes, the Maze became synonymous with the Northern Ireland Troubles. After the peace negotiations, it was finally closed in October 2003." "Over a period of a year, Donovan Wylie spent almost 100 days photographing inside the prison. Gradually he came to understand the psychology of the architecture and its ability to disorient and diminish. His photographs are a testimony to that experience."--BOOK JACKET.
