Tall fences and walls cut through the city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The first ones appeared in 1969, as a temporary measure to reduce clashes between republican and loyalist neighborhoods. Soon they became taller, longer, more numerous and more permanent. In the 1998 peace agreement, it was decided that they would be dismantled, but two decades later, most of them still stand, and some have been added. I photographed and wrote for Tidskriften Rum and The Nation in 2018.
