Portrait of a Century exhibition for Armagh Market Centre

Studio Suss, an exhibition design agency based in Dublin, Ireland was commissioned to design Portrait of a Century photography exhibition by Dublin photographer and artist Kim Haughton. This project was initially shown in the National Museum of Ireland Collins Barracks, and then toured to The Market Place Theatre & Arts Centre in Armagh. Both spaces were custom designed by our designer Ruza Leko.

Portrait of a Century (Kim Haughton) is a visual time capsule of one hundred images of people, threaded together through a shared language, culture and nationhood. Presented for the first time in its entirety, each portrait in this series represents the birth year of the person in it and spans a hundred-year time-period from 1916–2015. Exploring themes of nationhood, identity and time, the work is a photographic representation of a nation reflected in those who have shaped it in some way. The photographs were made over two years (2015–2017) during a significant time in Irish history. One hundred years of life caught in one second of time. By stopping time, a photograph can provide calm in a world of chaos.
