Bellacorick Power Station

Bellacorick Power Station Images
By Michael Gannon.

The following series of photographs is as a result of authorized visits that I made to the decommissioned power station in Bellacorick in North Mayo during 2008 and 2009, in these images taken from a larger body of work I have created my own personal visual responses to the iconic building’s structure and former function. My photographs explore the shapes and patterns that embody both the construction and physical presence of the building, the rhythms of glass and metal that makes up the building's fabric. The generators are now silent but one can’t help but feel something of the life that this place once had.
