An installation drawn from Maurice Harron’s iconic public sculpture Hands across the Divide, symbolising the division between Catholic and Protestant in the doubly named City of Derry~Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

Memory Scaffolding reflects on the hands of the monument’s two figures; frozen in an unfinished reconciliation, almost meeting, but never truly joining. There exists between them an eternal gap.

Composed of 11 by-products of the 360 scanning process, these photos include peripheral data capturing the city, the street and the strand. The stuttered movements of passersby, fabric blowing in the wind, scaffolding and bricks surround the still but distorted sculpture. The monumental figures embody the immobility of history and its memory, while the trappings of the present progress with their ethereal existence.
