About the BUNDLE:

Photo Museum Ireland Tote:

A light reusable shopping tote bag made from 100% cotton from Photo Museum of Ireland. This tote is in great demand with its long handles, it is easy to carry on the shoulder even when it is full of photobooks!

Akihiko Okamura, The Memories of Others:

Published by Atelier EXB and Prestel, some of photography’s most influential publishing houses, this collection is accompanied with essays and texts by Okamura’s Daughter Kusi Okamura; photography historian and curator Pauline Vermare; photo historian, author, and curator Masako Toda; award-winning journalist Seán O’Hagan and Photo Museum Ireland Artistic Director and CEO, Trish Lambe. The Memories of Others is an unparalleled contribution to the study of photography and the experience of conflict in Ireland.

Changing State:

Presented by Photo Museum Ireland, IKS Photo, Düsseldorf, and Haus am Kleistpark, as part of Zeitgeist 24, an initiative by Culture Ireland and the Irish Embassy in Germany, in media partnership with ARTE.

Changing States: Ireland in the 21st Century is the largest group exhibition of Irish photography presented outside Ireland to date. Focusing on the first decades of the 21st century, coinciding with the centenary of the founding of the Irish state, it shows the depth and breadth of contemporary photography in Ireland. The exhibition reflects how Irish artists have responded to and critically reframed the recent profound shifts that have occurred in Irish society - surveying Ireland’s transformation from an insular nation-state to a more liberal, globalised and multicultural society. 

Featuring works by 34 contemporary artists, the exhibition and catalogue present three key themes: Political Landscapes, Notions of Home, and Changing Identities. Encompassing diverse vantage points of the medium, ranging from documentary photography to more socially engaged and conceptual approaches, the exhibition considers how leading artists working in Ireland have addressed major socio-political developments to reflect on changing demographics, cultural identities, contested territories and social reform.

Pebbledash Wonderland:

Photo Museum Ireland is delighted to present the premiere of Shane Lynam's Pebbledash Wonderland (2014 –2024), a photographic account of his adopted home city, Dublin. The exhibition builds on Lynam’s long-term engagement with urban space across Europe, pushing his practice in new subjective and narrative directions. Pebbledash Wonderland is Lynam's third major body of work and follows on from his acclaimed book, Fifty High Seasons, about modernist French resorts, published in 2018, and Contours exhibited in 2013.
