A long journey through war fields from Irish photographer, Ivor Pickett.

The word which returns in the work of Ivor Prickett – Irish photographer, born in 1983, one of the most interesting looks in contemporary photography – is home, ‘house’. From 2006 onwards, in his images that record the turmoil and vicissitudes of the various war fronts that have shocked and still shock Europe, for many people home is a distant mirage, an irreparable loss, a place of memory where the hundreds of displaced persons of the war will perhaps never be able to return, the dream of those who are now forced to make do with collection centres, refugee camps, momentary accommodations that risk then becoming tragic and absolute permanence.
