"Bobby Sands, Belfast, May 1981" is a collection of works by French photographer Yann Morvan. As a photojournalist, Morvan has been present at the scene of conflict and social tension, yet he has always avoided one-sided narratives and continued to observe cities and the behavior of their people with a dispassionate eye. This work documents Belfast, Northern Ireland, in May 1981, during the political conflict that continued under British rule. It depicts the city immediately after the death of Bobby Sands, a Provisional IRA member and prison hunger striker. His death deeply shocked the local community, and protests and funeral processions filled the urban space. The photographs vividly capture the collective energy, as well as individual bodies and silent gazes in the streets. Without making a political statement, Morvan's gaze captures the everyday tensions and anxieties that emerge amid historical events, quietly raising questions about how photography can relate to society.
