'Melancholy Witness' is the published collection of the images of Seán Hillen’s lauded exhibition of photography, documenting the years of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. Combining personality with documentary history, what emerges is a powerful and compelling story of unrest, beauty and change.
"The photographs are like black and white time machines that bring back the desolation and danger of The Troubles. The images have a documentary accuracy, but it is the aura of melancholy witness the marks them as work of Seán Hillen." (Words by Seamus Heaney, Nobel Laureate)
