Flats go in the frame at exhibition

Jeanette Lowe’s latest exhibition of photographs is called Waiting. Her collection of 70 to 80 photographs capture a transitory moment in which the Charlemont St Flats close to St Stephen’s Green in Dublin are being demolished — two blocks have been knocked; four remain standing with a few dozen families still living within.

Flats go in the frame at exhibition

Everyone’s waiting — the council, the residents to see if their new apartments will be built, even the buildings, says Lowe, “seem to be waiting for something to happen.”

Lowe says she wanted “to record something before it disappeared”. The exhibition is held within one of the flats and includes video footage of the demolition job as well as some artefacts left behind.
