Pebbledash Wonderland is Shane Lynam‘s photographic account of his adopted home city, Dublin. The exhibition builds on Lynam’s long standing explorations of urban space across Europe, which has influenced his work toward new subjective and narrative concerns. The exhibition is Lynam’s third major body of work and follows on from his acclaimed book, ‘Fifty High Seasons’, considering modernist French resorts (2018), and ‘Contours’, his exhibition in 2013.
“Pebbledash Wonderland offers a timely reminder that the complex elements of a contemporary city are almost impossible to grasp in their entirety, but must be felt, lived, and recorded, in small, seemingly insignificant moments. Returning over and over to the same sites, Lynam obsessively photographed the city to create a series of subjective, abstracted spaces that sit somewhere between reality and his own experience. Presented here for the first time in its entirety, the exhibition invites the viewer on an imaginary walk through Pebbledash Wonderland.”
24th August – 12th October, Photo Museum Ireland, Meeting House Square, Temple Bar, Dublin 2
