Wylie started his career as a photographer at the age of 16. In 1992 he was invited to become a nominee of Magnum Photos and in 1998 he became a full member – the youngest in the history of the agency. Donovan Wylie’s works explore the religious identity, history, the concept of territory in Northern Ireland and the architecture of conflict.

Yto Barrada (b. 1971, Morocco) was shortlisted [for the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize 2006] for the exhibition A Life Full of Holes – the Strait Project at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool. This photography project poetically explores issues of migration, Diaspora, access and exclusion.
