Launch: AS IF, Eamonn Doyle, Niall Sweeney, and David Donohoe

presents the premiere of internationally acclaimed photographer Eamonn Doyle, artist-designer Niall Sweeney and composer David Donohoe new and extensive interdisciplinary body work AS IF, at the in Dublin.

Eamonn Doyle’s practice has evolved rapidly over the last years from an acclaimed street photography approach towards intricate interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, frequently working with Niall Sweeney and David Donohoe. Their latest project, AS IF, presents an ambitious body of work that builds into a visceral and psychological articulation of the physical world and the psyche. It comprises silver gelatin prints, filmworks, montages, sound, music, painting, drawing and text.

Shot and recorded between Ireland and Japan—in city locations, on constructed studio sets, and in the photographic darkroom—the work assembles thousands of images with composed and recorded sound.

Presented in installation form, 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.
