PhotoIreland presents the Irish premiere of An Infinitely Dark Legacy by artist Lewis Bush at the International Centre for the Image.
The exhibition An Infinitely Dark Legacy is based on Lewis Bush’s photographic project and book Depravity’s Rainbow, which examines the dark origins of modern rocketry during the Second World War and the Holocaust, and charts the ways that this history continued to influence Cold War-era space programs in the United States, projects on which much present-day space exploration is in turn founded.
Through this, the exhibition challenges viewers to consider the ethical consequences of scientific progress built on morally questionable foundations.
An Infinitely Dark Legacy is presented alongside Rhiannon Adam’s Rhi-Entry at the International Centre for the Image, Dublin.
Following the launch on 10 September 2026, visitors are welcome to experience both exhibitions during opening hours Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–5.30pm.
