You have experienced the festival this year, our second edition, and surely you have a lot to say about it. We have identified a few areas where we can improve the way things are done, and we would love to hear what you have to say about it all. Have a look at the PhotoIreland Festival 2011 feedback form - it will take less than 5 minutes and is the best and quickest way to make your voice heard.
To thank you for your time, we are giving away a signed copy of Martin Parr’s catalogue to a lucky winner picked amongst the submissions. So good luck and make sure you add your name!
It is great that not only we can enjoy a Photography festival in Dublin, but that a new initiative is offering this year Belfast’s own festival: the Belfast Photo Festival. We know only very well the hard work that Michael Weir, the festival Director, and his team has put into the exhibitions and events that are offered in the programme. We are sure that you will enjoy it!

Fire are delighted to present Propeller, a group show of work by the five finalists of our competition for final year students of the visual arts. The show will comprise the artists’ current work, dealing with themes both social and personal.
Dee O’Shea’s work encompasses a combination of fictional and real architectural spaces where Illusion, scale and spatial articulation are skewed, creating images which are theatrical, absurd and yet recognisable.
‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ by Dorje de Burgh is a personal communication of shifting ideologies in an urban/suburban world in which the future is no longer what it once was.
Ronan McCall’s project, ‘East to Eden’, depicts the crossing by sea between Dublin and Holyhead. The documentary tradition to which the works belong is coupled with an introverted, reflective tone.
Combining contemporary photography and archival research, Darek Fortas’ ‘Coal Story’ is a social documentary which focuses on JSW, the largest coal mine company in Europe.
Anna Wickham’s work ‘Rooster Tail’ is a visual enquiry into how a viewer experiences ’real’ world images as represented in televisual imagery.
The exhibition runs from Wednesday 13 July till Friday 29th July.
Opening hours Mon-Fri, 9am to 6pm.
Opening Party & Award Presentation Wednesday 20 July from 6pm. All are welcome.
