DescriptionA scene captured in McDonalds’ fast-food restaurant in Grafton Street Dublin. The image was made during the photographer’s final year of the Advanced Photography course at Kevin Street College of Technology. It was one of a series of black and white photographs of people with animals or with images of animals. Like much of De Chenu’s work at this time, it is ordinary life with a surreal twist.
