Chapter I: Paris is part of The Precursor Project, which investigates the moments before the Paris 2015 terrorist attacks and how they were documented and analysed: the moments of peace just before the atrocities, captured via analogue photography. In addition, they found The OGC (a platform promoting women across the visual arts community) to be a major achievement within the author’s career in the industry.

About the Artists
Kate O’Neill is a photographic artist whose practice develops through sustained, research-informed projects in response to the unfolding climate crisis. Working with sustainable, mixed-media techniques, she creates work that balances material care with thoughtful inquiry, contributing to ongoing conversations about ecology, culture, and the role of art in shaping environmental awareness.Her photographic works often carry a sculptural presence, shaped through layered materials and tactile processes that extend beyond the traditional image plane. Created through a slow, meditative approach, each piece reflects a pursuit of balance and stillness, offering a quiet space for contemplation and inviting viewers to connect with a sense of calm and environmental harmony. She has exhibited across the UK and Ireland, and her work is collected internationally, resonating with audiences who value both environmental awareness and contemplative, tactile artistry.

About the Publisher
The Precursor Project (TPP) is an ongoing photographic archive project where we investigate the precursor moment leading up to (but not of) terrorist attacks using different photographic processes.
Founded by photographers Kate O’Neill and Nick Isden, the archive aims to educate us about the global community and improve our social conscience. By using existing images from contributing photographers, we will hopefully showcase when the unremarkable becomes the remarkable and how, in today’s society, we document the world around us. We will develop this project in chapters, using and identifying different photographic moments and detrimental events. Over the coming years, we will collect images from pro and amateur photographers of the hours and days preceding a specific incident.
