For almost ten years I have been compiling photographs made by people who have experienced being homeless. In 2006, after collecting around 10,000 photographs, negatives and ephemera created by over 250 people, I was keen to examine an established photography archive to reflect on some of the practical, theoretical and ethical issues potentially involved in constituting an archive. Over the following two years I took my inquiry to Belfast Exposed Photography and I created Residency, a new body of work with homeless people living in Belfast. Doing so enabled me to develop my questions for the collection and its possible transition to a public archive; to reflect on the complexities of potential decisions to be made around the constitution of an archive in relation to representational responsibility, participation and interpretation, and how this might impact on history and memory. This article contextualizes images from Residency in a critical process of enquiry and remembrance in order to question representation and identity as constructed through the archive
