Trish Morrissey: Autofictions
Twenty Years of Photography and Film
This survey exhibition of Irish artist Trish Morrissey, who we announced representation of back in July 2023, brings together more than twenty years of work, focusing on the artist's commitment to representing female experience and telling the often overlooked stories of women. The exhibition is also the Irish premiere of several bodies of work, including Psycho Beach, made on Achill Island, and Morrissey's latest film, Eupnea.
Originally produced by Serlachius Museums in Finland, the exhibition will now be showcased at Photo Museum Ireland. It is currently touring at Impressions Gallery in Bradford until 14 October 2023.
Included in the exhibition are selections from Morrissey's landmark series "Seven Years," which was created in and around the Dublin home where the artist grew up. These works were originally exhibited at the Gallery of Photography in Dublin to great acclaim. Morrissey's ongoing commitment to representing the female experience and telling the often-overlooked stories of women is a central theme of the exhibition.
Visitors will have the opportunity to delve deeper into Morrissey's work with the fully-illustrated publication, which features texts in English and Finnish. The publication includes a conversation between Morrissey and art historian Lucy Soutter, an introductory essay by curator Kate Best, and an essay on Morrissey's film work by Josephine Lanyon.
