Description :
For 24 years, the Maze Prison played a unique role in the Northern Ireland conflict.
Built in 1976 to hold terrorists and political prisoners, the Maze is an extreme example of rational design.
The prison closed in 2000 and, in 2002, Magnum photographer Donovan Wylie, himself Irish, obtained the exclusive right to take pictures of the entire prison complex, without limits or supervision. His 68 photographs document the repetitive nature of the architecture and its disorienting effect.
