WHATEVER YOU SAY SAY NOTHING - GILLES PERESS KA...

In 1972  at the age of 26  Gilles Peress photographed the British Army's massacre of Irish
civilians on Bloody Sunday. In the 1980s he returned to the North of Ireland  intent on testing
the limits of visual language and perception to understand the intractable conflict. Whatever
You Say  Say Nothing  a work of documentary fiction  organizes a decade of photographs across
22 fictional days to articulate the helicoidal structure of history during a conflict that
seemed like it would never end-where each day became a repetition of every other day like that
day: days of violence  of marching  of riots  of unemployment  of mourning  and also of craic
where you try to forget your condition. Held back for 30 years and now eagerly anticipated 
this ambitious publication takes the language of documentary photography to its extremes  then
challenges the reader to stop and resolve the puzzle of meaning for him or herself.
Accompanying each copy is Annals of the North  a text-and-image almanac to Whatever You Say 
Say Nothing  also published separately by Steidl this season.
