Wild Horse at Summer’s End is an image created in late summer of a seemingly wild horse in Co.Wicklow. The image was made during a recent visit back home where the artist began to question the idea of home and what it meant to him. Having left Dublin at the end of 2021 with the prospects of living in a place where rent and the cost of living was actually achievable, Patrick constantly found himself longing for home, understanding now for the first time what all of the great Irish poets and songwriters meant when they spoke of the place from across the sea.
This image is not only a record of a time and a place, but also a poetic gesture towards a feeling of longing, uneasiness and melancholia.
Patrick O 'Byrne is a photographer from Tallaght, Dublin currently based in Berlin. He acquired his BA in photography at the Institute of Art & Design Dun Laoghaire. His work focuses on the familial and the themes which inhabit it, finding himself drawn to the distinctions and collaborations between people and place.
His relationship to photography finds itself inhabited within time and memory, using it as a device to explore the past in some attempt to reconcile with his own self-identity. Aside from photographic explorations, he involves poetry and writing into his practice as a means to develop his poetic imagery further.
Patrick’s works have been exhibited in several spaces in Ireland, including PhotoIreland Festival, Draoicht Art Gallery, The CopperHouse Gallery as well appearing in several publications. It also acquired him a nomination from PhotoIreland as a representative for FUTURES 2022.
