Mise en Abyme | Sharon Murphy at Draíocht Blanchardstown

Event Details

Draíocht is delighted to present Sharon Murphy’s Mise en Abyme, which focuses on Parisian carousels and theatrical décor during moments of stillness and silence. Drawing on her background in theatre and informed by concepts from psychoanalysis and magic realism in literature, this work highlights Murphy’s longstanding interest in staged spaces and the performative in photography.

Mise en Abyme was originally commissioned by Nora Hickey M’Sichili, Director Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris, where it premiered in 2024. In association with Photo Museum Ireland and Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast, the exhibition toured in Ireland in 2025.
