Dara McGrath: Boundaries

Exploring transitional spaces

Some of my favourite features come about when one photographer refers another. Dara McGrath was referred by Miriam O’Connor, whose blog article was mentioned in the Life.com Photo Blog Awards in June.

“The deserted spaces of the East European national borderlands are spaces in flux. Devoid now of controls, they are in the process of being decommissioned and abandoned. No longer points on a map, but neither fully blank spaces, they are spaces-in-between, and are difficult arenas to absorb and comprehend. This photographic documentation looks at the transitory nature of the present day European border checkpoints and crossings and what it says about the relationship between society, identity architecture and the landscape in a united Europe.” – Dara McGrath
