Dorje de Burgh lives and works between Killarney, Dublin & Berlin. His practice uses photography, the archive, language, and film to explore libidinal excess, lack, liminality and the paradoxes of (image) desire in an increasingly schizoid present.Dream the End led to his selection for the FUTURES European photographic mentorship program in addition to being shortlisted by Void Athens and FotoRoom in their photobook series publishing award, presented at Unseen Amsterdam and selected for inclusion in the Pallas Projects Periodical Review survey of Irish art 2019.
Subsequently, a selection of works from his current work-in-progress The Sting of Love were purchased in 2021 by the Arts Council of Ireland for their public collection. What Are The Roots That Clutch, his first artist’s monograph, was published in February 2022. His work has been purchased for the National Photography Collection at Photo Museum Ireland.
