Biography
e: alecpmoore at gmail.com
I am a visual artist working predominately with photography while also incorporating moving image into my practice. My work explores and draws from our relationship to place—physical and sociological, historical and contemporary—examining how history, identity, class and power shape the landscapes we inhabit. Narrative is a strong component of my work, with recent projects engaging with the housing crisis in Ireland and the legacy of land through a post-colonial lens. I am interested in how personal, collective and political histories intersect, tracing the ways in which displacement, ownership and belonging are embedded in place. My image making practice is rooted in craft, often using traditional film and silver print mediums, as well as handmade artist books and zines. These processes allow me to engage with the materiality of photography, considering the physical presence of the work and contribute to material object culture.
