'Fantasy Island' is a unique book chronicling 50 years of Irish photography from 70 artists. Edited by Joel Seawright and Lucy Jackson, the book captures authentic representations of Ireland beyond clichés. It features a range of themes, from punk movements to queer nightlife, presented in a kaleidoscopic format. The focus on emotional layers instead of linear stories reflects the complexity of Irish history, showcasing culture and creativity alongside the challenges faced, such as The Troubles, without overshadowing other narratives.
"The goal was to create something that felt truly representative of Ireland as seen through the eyes and experiences of people who live here."
"Fantasy Island doesn't attempt to tell a single, linear story of Irish history; instead, it acknowledges how layered, emotional, and unresolved that history is."
