Naming the Dead

© By Alastair MacLennan

Actuation (Performance/insta llation) for the ‘YES’ campaign, attaching, by white ribbon, A4 size pages of names, of all victims of the Troubles, in alphabetical order, to metal railings on both sides of Ormeau Bridge, Belfast, with a white flower, per page of names.

... a passerby’s reminder, of needless horror, in pages, ribbons and flower .. .Many stopped, to read . After weeks ... ribbons remained.
