See you this Thursday 5th February from 6pm for the launch premiere of AS IF by internationally acclaimed photographer Eamonn Doyle, artist-designer Niall Sweeney and composer David Donohoe.
Presented in an ambitious installation , the events of AS IF take place simultaneously inside one structure, a structure that folds together the combined forces of an unstable material world and the inner worlds of its inhabitants. AS IF also draws on the processes, dynamics and sounds of its own making—of photography, the temporalities of the still and the moving image, the construction and destruction of sets and maquettes, and the making of, and moving to, music—often translating one through another.
PhotoIreland has supported Eamonn Doyle over the years, in amongst other ways, having launched almost all of his publications at
@tlp_says from his first photobook ‘i’ (2014), followed by ‘ON’ (2015), ‘End’ (2016), ‘K’ (2018), as well as an eponymous book Eamonn Doyle published by Fundación MAPFRE and Editorial RM (2019), and most recently ‘TWO’ (2022). Through projects such as the postcard collection ‘100 Views of Contemporary Ireland’ and the annual HALFTONE Print Fair, we showcased his latest artworks and have presented his published work internationally in key fairs and exhibitions such as Photobook Phenomenon (
@cccb_barcelona , 2017),
@unseenphotofair (Amsterdam, 2018), and ‘On the Irish Photobook’
@photobooknz (Wellington, 2024).
In 2022,
@photoirelandfst ’s ‘Opening the Gates’ presented the most comprehensive overview of the History and Practice of Photography in Ireland to date, including Eamonn’s ambitious video work installation ‘Made in Dublin’.
It is with great pleasure that, in 2026, we present his latest body of work, AS IF, developed with Niall Sweeney and David Donohoe, at the recently launched International Centre for the Image.
