About the artwork

Irish photographer Eamonn Doyle is drawn towards solitary, often elderly figures he sees on the streets of Dublin, people he seems to pass daily. Often not revealing faces, Doyle evokes the very unknowability of these people. The result makes us consider those passers-by we meet in fleeting, urban encounters. This series has been championed by Martin Parr as ‘the best street photobook in a decade’.

Curated by Photo Australia for PHOTO 2022 International Festival of Photography.

Presented in partnership with the Metro Tunnel Creative Program.
