Olin Brannigan’s photography exhibition “Standing Still” captures the ancient grandeur of Ireland’s rocky landscapes.

Belfast-based photographer Olin Brannigan is bringing a solo exhibition to Hen’s Teeth from October 6 to October 9. “Standing Still” is an exhibition of 12 photographic works featuring the best of Ireland’s neolithic monuments.

Inspired by Olin’s lifelong fascination with Ireland’s rocky heritage, “Standing Still” captures the landscapes that “represent the beginning of us, the beginning of architecture, the beginning of civilisation.”

Olin travelled to Ireland’s best neolithic landmarks, including Breastagh in Mayo and the Ballykeel Dolmen, taking each photo under the cover of night. Each neolithic monument was treated “as a sculpture isolated from their pastoral surroundings” to highlight “the grandeur and majesty of these important sites.”

According to Olin, “each image represents several attempts and the process became a labour of love”, as each photographing process “became as important to the photographer as the final image.”
