Vote No.1
Mark Duffy
The Irish landscape was littered with electoral campaign advertising during the 2014 European, local and national by-elections. 'Vote No. 1' documents this and examines the culture of election advertising in Ireland. The series focuses on the accidental, and often gruesome, disfigurements the electoral candidates' faces suffer - an unintended consequence of their posters' erection. These images seek to reflect the Irish electorate's increasing disillusionment with the political process after years of harshening austerity politics.
