For his current project, 'Love's Fire Song', Enda photographed youth culture on either side of the peace walls, choosing the symbolic bonfires of the 12th July and 8th August as his starting point. Rather than the expected images, laden with political and religious imagery, he concentrated on the ordinary, the everyday. The photographs are shown as a coherent series, using a muted colour palette with only subtle symbolisms, and without reference to the specific locations they were taken. Free from political and geographical context, the photographs speak of longing, yearning, aspirations and vulnerabilities of young people in Belfast today; their myriad joys and sorrows; lingering on the moments that can resonate with us all, independent of our individual backgrounds and inherited place and beliefs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Swallow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42396541092003,"sku":"BL-PA-1061","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/2540\/8163\/files\/endabowe.png?v=1763915426"},{"product_id":"my-east-belfast-childhood-by-enda-bowe-and-lucy-caldwell","title":"My East Belfast Childhood, Enda Bowe \u0026 Lucy Caldwell","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the drookit summer of 2021, Northern Ireland's centenary year, Lucy Caldwell spent several weeks revisiting the places of her childhood with Enda Bowe, capturing something of the essence of those days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis project was commissioned by the MAC \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The MAC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43267239215267,"sku":"PH-PH-1851","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/2540\/8163\/products\/myeastbelfastchildhood.jpg?v=1677253780"},{"product_id":"at-mirrored-river-by-enda-bowe","title":"At Mirrored River, Enda Bowe (Signed)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe project has been exhibited at The Visual Centre Of Contemporary Art, Ireland, July to Sept 2016 and has received nominations for the Deutsche Borse Photography Prize and the Prix Pictet Award. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe book has received support from people including film directors Ken Loach and Lenny Abrahamson, writer Colm Toibin, The Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum, photographers Tom Wood, Donovan Wylie and Eamonn Doyle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Swallow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47661939884379,"sku":"","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/2540\/8163\/files\/mirroredrivercover.png?v=1755263967"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/2540\/8163\/collections\/LFS-3.jpg?v=1779452478","url":"https:\/\/shop.photomuseumireland.ie\/collections\/enda-bowe.oembed","provider":"Photo Museum Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
