VIENNAPHOTOBOOKAWARD 2015:
• VOTE NO.1 by Mark Duffy.
The Irish landscape was littered with electoral campaign advertising during the recent European, local and national by-elections. ‘Vote No. 1′ documents this and examines the culture of election advertising in Ireland. The series focuses on the accidental, and often gruesome, disfigurements the electoral candidates’ faces suffer – an unintended consequence of their posters’ erection. These images reflect the Irish electorate’s increasing disillusionment with the political process after years of harshening austerity politics.
