Eamonn Doyle explores the recent work of the Irish photographer (Dublin, 1969). Doyle became an instant sensation after publishing his first, much acclaimed photobook “i” and he has gained an enthusiastic following, amongst them photographer Martin Parr, who describes Doyle as “the most important street photographer of the last decade”.

Doyle photographs the city of Dublin from surprisingly unexpected angles, revealing an original vision of the city and its inhabitants.

The colour photographs depict a series of shape-shifting figures standing in front of the backgrounds of the Irish west coast and south-west Spain.

The series refers to the Irish tradition of keening, a vocal lament dedicated to the dead, and was born, in part, as a consequence of the premature losses of the artist’s mother and brother.

This catalogue accompanies the exhibition of the same name, co-curated by Niall Sweeney and held at Fundación MAPFRE’s Sala Bárbara de Braganza. It includes texts by Sweeney, Bob Quinn, David Donohoe and Lisa Godson.
