Between 2002 and 2003, Donovan Wylie spent almost one hundred days photographing inside the Maze prison. Through its history of protests, hunger strikes and escapes, this prison, which held both republican and loyalist prisoners, became synonymous with the conflict in Northern Ireland. After the 1998 Belfast peace agreement, prisoners were gradually released, but the Maze remained open. Wylie was the only photographer granted official, unrestricted access to the site. When demolition began, symbolising the end of the conflict in 2007, he systematically recorded its disappearance. The photographs documenting this period are divided into four sections, each representing a “layer” of the prison: the internal walls, different types of fencing, the H-blocks and, finally, the perimeter walls, revealing the landscape beyond. Eventually, this once-enclosed space is reintegrated with the outside world.
