Photo Museum Ireland is delighted to present a Masterclass with acclaimed photographer Trish Morrissey on 11th February 2024, 1.30pm - 4.30pm

In this fun and dynamic workshop, we will be investigating story telling techniques, using pictures/clothes/objects brought in by students, we will look at various methods of finding and performing characters. These techniques can be used to develop fictional scenarios for multiple photographic and film uses, including fashion and portraiture.

For the workshop

Students are requested to bring:

1. Items of clothing and an object/personal effect/prop picked up from a charity shop/jumble sale, something to spark the imagination. Other clothes/props from home can be brought too.

2. Each student to bring a photograph of a person they don’t know, a portrait that interests you, that you are drawn to, and a character that you find intriguing. Can be from the web/pinterest/someone’s family album/charity shop etc, or it can be a photograph you have made/taken of someone you don’t know/street photograph/anonymous.

Trish Morrissey's exhibition AutoFictions: Twenty Years of Photography and Film runs at Photo Museum Ireland from 23 November 2023 to 10 February 2024. The exhibition is the Irish premiere of several bodies of work, including Psycho Beach, made on Achill Island, and Morrissey's latest film, Eupnea.

Trish Morrissey was born in Dublin and lives and works in the UK. Her practice combines performance, photography, and film, using archival research and her own biography as points of departure to develop and play real and fictional characters and explore ideas around family, the roles of women, and the body. Morrissey appears in her photographs and films, sometimes performing all the roles herself, and often chooses characters with whom she identifies. This creates a kind of 'autofiction' whereby experiences from her own life are explored through the stories of others.
