Eoin Moylan is an Irish photographer (b. 1983) living and working in Berlin, Germany. His practice explores the constraints of analogue photography, using limitation as a way to question what photography can and can’t communicate.

Drawing on a background in Television & Film, Photography, and Psychotherapy, Moylan’s work examines the medium’s technical and narrative strengths, as well as its redundancies. He holds an MA in Fine Art Photography from IED Madrid (Istituto Europeo di Design), Madrid.

He has exhibited work in the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin and the Library project, Dublin. He has taken part in the traveling Group exhibition, 5 Plus 5, which took place between Madrid, and The Library of Birmingham. His first book A Place Without Walls is part of the collection in the National Library of Ireland. His first solo exhibition was held at Galleri Image, Aarhus, Denmark.
This exhibition was supported by The Danish Arts Foundation.

Deutsches in Deutschland (2020-2024), published by Art Paper Editions in 2025, is a body of work consisting of an extensive body of 10x8 inch photographic prints that are designed to sit side by side in congruence. The photographs have mainly been shot between Germany where the artist lives, and Ireland, where the artist is from.

Composed of images from daily life, friends, family, travel, urban and natural landscapes, it produces a register of personal surroundings, an archive of the elements that compose one’s experience. The family, and moments of movement, both literal and conceptual are used to highlight the still images ability to reference time. The photograph's ability to freeze time while accentuating time passing. This experience being somewhat unique to photography, a parallelism that can only be mimicked or explained by the written word or moving image.

In an age of hyper imagery, the work has particular emphasis on the technicality of analogue photography so as to ground it within the limitations of its practises, its monosyllabism. Attempting to speak about the strengths or weaknesses of photography by using the dialogue of the 10x8 inch print. It creates a conversation between the images that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Large emphasis is placed on the theory of a “national camera” and how photographic styles are influenced heavily by country or region. Research has been gathered that attempts to disseminate what an Irish ‘style of photography’ is. It being a country that falls between regional styles but is
heavily influenced by the British humanist/documentary styles that came through the Newport School/David Hurn. The project attempts to understand this style and then reference a more German aesthetic of photography that has begun to influence the photographer through the technical understanding
that comes through the conditioning of living within a stricter culture.

On living between two places or moments. On becoming 'German things in Germany/Deutsches in Deutschland.
