Description: | Lardinois’ contribution was to secure a book publication to explore material in the Magnum archive that had not been yet been collated. The book as to be accompanied by a major touring exhibition which opened at IMMA in Dublin. Working closely with Val Williams, she conducted extensive background research. the concept was to divide both exhibition and book into decades and to commission major Irish writers to put the photographs in its historical context. With an introduction by John Banville the book features essays buy Anthony Cronin, Fintan O’Toole, Eamonn McCann, Nuala O'Faolain, Anne Enright and Colm Tóibin- and in this edition Kevin Barry describes the new decade. Lardinois and Williams co-wrote a critical introduction to the book which drew out a distinctive Irishness to the photographs and they jointly presented the exhibition at its opening. Research consisted of the original scoping of the exhibition and volume (Lardinois) and a sustained enquiry into the large number of photographers’ work including those from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold, Martin Parr and Bruce Davidson. The research involved identifying and retrieving photographs from a range of non-UK based archives and estates. As a consequence, little of the work had been seen before and none of it in a retrospective context. Williams updated the author's essay and Lardinois contributed the picture research for this edition. The original book, co-edited by Lardinois and Williams and was published by Thames and Hudson (30 November 2005) and was launched at the Irish Embassy, London (8 December 2005).
