Source ISSUE 104 - ’Legacy’ (Online)

Issue 104 'Legacy' (Spring 2021) is due back from the printer later this week and now available to order from our website. Once again we're going to be celebrating the launch of the new issue over Zoom on 13th May 7pm (GMT), in association with Gallery of Photography Ireland. Editor Richard West will speak to featured photographer Ori Gersht and contributor Dr Emily Mark-FitzGerald (who's article 'Tinted History' in this issue looks at trends in the colourisation of old photographs), with Q&A opportunities...

Ori Gersht was born in Isreal but has lived in London for over 30 years. Throughout his career his work has been concerned with the relationships between history, memory and landscape. He repeatedly uses the tension between creation and destruction in order to discover something new. In his new work he has been working with postcard imagery from historic museum collections and considering how these collections are defined and the way their historical story is being narrated. Issue 104 features a retrospective portfolio with selections from Gersht's photographic work to date, and an interview by Declan Long.

Emily Mark-FitzGerald's academic specialisations include the visual culture of famine, poverty, migration, and diaspora (painting, engraving, photography, cinema and material culture); memory, commemoration and public art; museum studies and heritage; and Irish cultural policy and institutions. She is the author of Commemorating the Irish Famine: Memory and the Monument (Liverpool University Press, 2013). In her Issue 104 article 'Tinted History' she discusses recent trends in the colourisation of old photographs.
