Mark Walsh is a lens-based artist living in Ireland. In 2019 Mark started street photography which has been exhibited and printed in Exhibitions and Art publications internationally. Mark is currently working on a project titled “Requiem for a River”. It is a photographic response to pollution due to the leaching of phosphorus and nitrogen into Ireland’s rivers, lakes and estuaries. This directly results from the dramatic increase of the beef and dairy herd in Ireland since 2010. Images from “Requiem” have been exhibited in “71% – The State of Water” as part of the Trieste Photo Days Festival and will be published in the photobook of the same title. Mark is also working on a photobook. The working title is “Towards an empty sea”. It chronicles dark beginnings, metamorphosis and a night flight down a polluted river towards an empty sea.
