Abstract
Drawing on the concept of the ‘geographical imagination’ and the phenomenologically based theory of human geography, ‘lifeworlds’, this essay discusses the work of several Irish photographers who circumvent the objectification and polar opposites of inside and outside in representations of place by highlighting the everyday connectedness and sense of belonging of people and their environments. Discussing Irish photography from after the global economic crash of 2008, the essay argues that presence has emerged as a visual trope in recent Irish photography, to explore the everyday social relations between people and place following the transformations to the Irish landscape as a result of the Celtic Tiger economy of the 1990s and the financial collapse of 2008.
