Disagreements is part of a long-term body of work which explores Martin Seeds’ relationship to his homeland, Northern Ireland, where he grew up at the height of the civil conflict known as The Troubles. Working in the grounds of the Northern Irish Assembly at Stormont in Belfast, Seeds uses the power of photography to generate allegory - letting plants, trees and foliage deliver a message about the struggles embedded in the political landscape. In fusing together the positive and negative images of the same subject into one image, he symbolically references the divisions and unresolvable viewpoints of opposing political parties.

Martin Seeds is a photographer and educator, originally from Northern Ireland. In 2019 Seeds was nominated for the 2020 Deutsche Börse Photography Prize for his solo exhibition “Violence Religion Injustice Death” at Seen Fifteen Gallery, London. In 2018 he was awarded the Danny Wilson Memorial Award Professionals Choice for the best solo exhibition at Brighton Photo Fringe. In 2017 he was awarded a Magnum Graduate award for the body of work titled Assembly.
