Synopsis
The Maze prison was opened in 1976, at the height of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and held both republican and loyalist prisoners in its eight identical H-blocks. Through its history of protests, hunger strikes and escapes, the Maze became an emblem of the Northern Ireland conflict. After the Belfast peace agreement in 1998, inmates were gradually released, but the Maze remained open until 2007. Between 2002 and 2003 Donovan Wylie spent almost 100 days inside the prison, absorbing the psychology of the architecture and recording each section as it was destroyed. He was the only photographer to be granted official and unlimited access to the site. Wylie then revisited the prison in 2007 to document its demolition. First published in 2004 to critical acclaim, this new slipcased edition comes in two hardback volumes--Maze 2002/03 and Maze 2007/08--and contains a supplementary booklet, The Architecture of Containment, with an essay and historical chronology by Louise Purbrick.

paperback. Condition: Perfetto (Mint). Un saggio di Louise Purbrick. Testi e fotografie a colori di Donovan Wylie. 2 volumi + un spillato . Cm 23,5x30. pp. 206. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione Steidl (First Steidl Edition). . Tra il 2002 e il 2003 Donovan Wylie ha trascorso quasi cento giorni nella prigione Maze per fotografare questa realtà. Attraverso la sua storia di proteste, scioperi della fame e fughe, questa prigione, che ospitava sia prigionieri repubblicani che lealisti, è diventata sinonimo del conflitto nordirlandese. Dopo l'accordo di pace di Belfast nel 1998, i detenuti furono gradualmente rilasciati, ma il Maze rimase aperto. Wylie fu allora l'unico fotografo a cui fu concesso l'accesso ufficiale e illimitato al sito, quando iniziò la demolizione della prigione, simbolo della fine del conflitto nel 2007. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 2004, questa nuova edizione di Maze si presenta in tre volumi: Maze 2002/03, Maze 2007/08, e The Architecture of Containment.
