For more than two decades, Krass Clement's book Drum, photographed in a single evening, has long been regarded as one of the most iconic photobooks ever made. With Dublin, RRB Photobooks brought into print a previously unseen body of work made in the same Irish moment. The images in Dublin retain some of the style of Drum, in an almost autobiographical account of the three journeys that Clement made into and out of Dublin while staying in Monaghan in the spring of the early nineties. The Dublin photobook was the first of Clement's work to be published by RRB, and the first time any of his work was published with an accompanying special edition print; the book coincided with an exhibition at the Gallery of Photography, Ireland. 'So great to see this work finally get published. At a time when most international photographers were focused on the troubles in Northern Ireland, it's exciting to know that one of my favourite photographers was shooting here in Dublin on my own doorstep. Fantastic work, as you'd expect from Krass, made even more poignant with the passing of nearly three decades.' — Eamonn Doyle
