Overview

'Sicily' is a collection of photographs taken in Palermo, Gibellina and Gibellina Nuova in 2018 at the same time the European Biennial of Contemporary Art festival, Manifesta, was taking place. Images in the book include themes on religion, views of historical buildings, art and architecture in places like Gibellina Nuova, an art monument on a huge scale in the area where an earthquake devastated an entire town called Gibellina and a visit to the controversial Pizzo Sella, a failed real estate project initiated by the mafia in the 1970s. The Mobile Pictures Series and the selection of images in this book pay homage to analogue, instant, and mobile photography while capturing glimpses of the everyday in Sicily. This work, in part, documents Ronan Haughton's relationship with the places he traveled to together with his partner (who is from India). The narratives in this series of books are not always in the order in which an account or sequence of events occurred and there are also images that are dreamlike, abstract or magical, which skew any attempt at linear storytelling.
