Beaches, country lanes, picturesque ruins … Haughton’s landscapes
capture the beauty of Ireland. But they are also crime scenes. She talks
about photographing the horror that nobody wanted to see.
In 2011, Kim Haughton noticed a man standing outside St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral in Dublin dressed in a clerical collar and fake devil’s horns. His name was John Deegan, and he was a survivor of sexual abuse. Every Sunday, Deegan protested outside the church at the failure of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Ireland to deal with evidence of widespread child abuse by priests.
