Song to Be Spoken, Not Sung is an intimate image created with the partner of the artist during intercourse, the image sings a small note within a larger ongoing body of work centred around the theme of love and relationships, both current and past.
Included with the photographic artwork is a small poem written sometime in the days following the creation of the image, serving as some sort of a diary entry which the artist feels needs to accompany the image. This poem is tipped in to the back of the frame and can be removed and potentially framed if one wishes, however the intention is that it stays packaged with the frame as one is incomplete without the other.
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.
