Irish-born photographer Tom Wood has taken photographs almost every day for the last 40 years, documenting people in their everyday environments. Men and Women presents Wood's most recent arrangement of his works.

Wood, in a creative collaboration with artist Padraig Timoney, has re-visited his vast archive of images. Editing from previously unseen bodies of work along with the seminal Looking for Love, All Zones Off Peak, Football Grounds, Shipyard and Docks and Women’s Market – his photographs were organised under the headings 'Men' and 'Women'. What began to emerge was a subtle new reading of his work that dealt with gender alongside his other preoccupations with character and place.

Men and Women was first shown at The Photographers' Gallery, London in 2012 in an exhibition organised in collaboration with the National Media Museum, Bradford. The works were included in their recent major retrospective of Wood’s Tom Wood: Photographs 1973-2013. The exhibition on show here is a new presentation of Men and Women organised in collaboration with Gallery of Photography, Dublin.
