The publication accompanied UNSEEN, an exhibition of photographic and video work by Willie Doherty, curated by Matt’s Gallery, London and The Nerve Centre, Derry, as part of Derry / Londonderry’s UK City of Culture celebrations 2014.

UNSEEN presented photographic works Doherty made in his hometown of Derry and the Donegal Borders between 1985 and 2013.

The publication includes Jean Fisher’s seminal text from 1990 on Doherty’s early photographic works, Seeing Beyond The Pale as well as a text for the publication, Reflections, providing an overview of how Doherty’s work has evolved and has responded to the changing socio-political context in Derry.

Texts include Colm Tóibín and Susan McKay.
