About this event

A free exhibition of photographs by Neil J. Smyth from a solo winter road trip around Iceland, made weeks before the world shut down in 2020. Opening Thursday 19 November, 6pm–9:30pm. Free entry.

At the end of February 2020, weeks before Ireland’s first Covid-19 lockdown, Neil J. Smyth set off alone in a camper van on a ten-day road trip around Iceland’s Ring Road. With no schedule but his own, he followed quiet roads, lingered at abandoned buildings and walked out across snow-covered country, stopping to photograph whatever caught his eye.

The exhibition presents photographs from that journey: storm clouds over sea stacks, a snowbound truck, a fuel pump glowing in the dark, red-roofed farmhouses half-lost in snow.

Fri 20 Nov, 9am - 1pm | Sat 21 & Sun 22 Nov at 9am - 5pm
