Launch 6pm Friday 24th October 2025
At International Centre for the Image, Coopers Cross, Dublin 1
The exhibition launch will be accompanied by the launch of the latest issues of OVER Journal, as well as artist talks.
PhotoIreland presents the premiere of Solastalgia, a new body of work by David Farrell at the International Centre for the Image.
A decade after the Irish premiere of The Afronauts during PhotoIreland Festival, De Middel returns to Dublin with another premiere of her latest work. Journey to the Center presents the Central American migration route across Mexico as a heroic and daring journey, rather than a runaway.

Join us at 1pm Saturday 25 October 2025, at the International Centre for the Image for the launch of the latest issues of Over Journal.
Schedule:
1pm OVER Journal launch: Introduction to the latest issues and artist talk with Cristina De Middel
2pm Artist talk in the gallery with David Farrell
The launch will coincide with the official opening of the centre’s two new exhibitions, David Farrell’s Solastalgia and Cristina De Middel’s Journey to the Center. David Farrell was previously featured in issue 1, and Cristina De Middel has contributed with a very personal text to issue 5.
OVER journal critically focuses on aspects often overlooked that affect the discipline, zooming out to observe the whole scene, to analyse what exactly is happening, what power relationships are at play. It is about preventing the repetition of obsolete and flawed structures, as much as highlighting the work of those who constructively are expanding what we still call Photography into new horizons. More than a portfolio magazine, it is a space for reflection on new practices and new ways of thinking.
Visit The Library Project to get your copies of OVER Journal issue 4 and OVER Journal issue 5.

Framed under the title Building the Museum from the Library: The book as an art object within Art collections, PhotoIreland has commissioned a series of essays by distinguished international contributors. The project examines the significance of the book as an art object, with particular attention to artist books, art books, and photobooks.
The commissioned essays will be published exclusively online in stages and subsequently compiled in a single volume, marking the culmination of the project.
Read first two texts by Markus Schaden and Russet Lederman and find out about the context of the commission online now.
