A Royal Wedding
We have created a collection of individual projects exploring the human quest for happiness in contemporary Western society. Everywhere people are dreaming of something more and better than what they currently have: aspiring to be more successful, to earn more, achieve more, be loved more – and thereby attain the state of happiness. A Royal Wedding is a metaphor for this very human characteristic. Each photographer has explored this area from a different angle, and the resulting projects use still photography, screenshots, video and sound, in the hope of encouraging reflection on how to live “happily ever after”.

These images are just a taster of what was on show at PhotoIreland 2011, Dublin from the 1st to the 31st of July and at Belfast Photo Festival from the 4th to the 14th of August.
