Exhibition Opening – Trish Morrissey: Autofictions. Twenty Years of Photography and Film

Join us at Photo Museum Ireland to celebrate the official launch of Autofictions: Twenty Years of Photography and Film by Irish artist Trish Morrissey from 6.00pm on Thursday 23 November 2023. 

The much-anticipated mid-career survey exhibition of renowned photographer Trish Morrissey, Autofictions is set to bring together photographs and films from over two decades. Morrissey's practice combines performance, photography, and film, using archival research and her own biography as points of departure to develop and play real and fictional characters and explore ideas around family, the roles of women, and the body. Morrissey appears in her photographs and films, sometimes performing all the roles herself, and often chooses characters with whom she identifies. This creates a kind of 'autofiction' whereby experiences from her own life are explored through the stories of others.
