Mise en Abyme | Sharon Murphy at GOMA Waterford

Event Details

GOMA is delighted to present ‘Mise en Abyme’ by Sharon Murphy, 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 new work highlights Murphy’s longstanding interest in staged spaces and the performative in photography. Through recurring symbols such as curtains, deserted stages, and performative environments, she investigates the thin line between illusion and reality, presence and absence.
Official Launch 23rd of July, 6-8pm
