Interval Four | Ailbhe Ní Bhriain at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris

Event Details

Exhibition continues from 06/02/2026 to 29/03/2026.

This exhibition presents Interval IV, a monumental Jacquard tapestry woven from silk, wool, cotton, and Lurex. It combines photography and collage to create a richly layered scene that is both precise and dreamlike. A Victorian era portrait is disrupted by images of underground geological formations and fragments of contemporary ruins. 

These juxtapositions situate the scars of human ambition within the deep time of geology, a register that unsettles all notions of stability and endurance. Shown alongside the tapestry is a quieter abstract piece from Ní Bhriain’s Picture series (2022–2025) which imagines a future archive in which photographic images endure only as material traces.
