A Royal Wedding, by Five Eleven Ninety Nine
For PhotoIreland Festival 2011, the collective Five Eleven Ninety Nine have created a collection of individual projects exploring the human quest for happiness in contemporary Western society. Everywhere people are dreaming of something more and better than what they currently have: aspiring to be more successful, to earn more, achieve more, be loved more – and thereby attain the state of happiness. A Royal Wedding is a metaphor for this very human characteristic. Each photographer has explored this area from a different angle, and the resulting projects use still photography, screenshots, video and sound, all in the hope of encouraging reflection on how to live “happily ever after”.

Maria de la Iglesia was born in Madrid in 1978 and currently lives in London. In her photography she makes use of the absurd as a way of exploring the human condition. It’s a visual and psychological observation that looks with irony and dark humour at the individuals themselves in a context of contrasts.
