In the late 2000s Eamonn Doyle purchased a Leica and took to the streets of Dublin with it. He had spent years away from the practice of photography, devoted to his work as a musical creator and producer, and to the artistic scene in Dublin. However, shortly after, he completed the photographic series i, the first belonging to the “Dublin Trilogy” along with ON and End which he would finish in only three years. The final series, End, stems from an exhibition at the Arles festival in 2016. During the festival Doyle presented the entire trilogy with an exhibition articulated in three parts in which three musical compositions could be heard that were meant to accompany the series. With this trilogy the author added a twist to the 20^th century genre of street photography, introducing a new symbolic, dystopian, and sometimes theatrical street language.

In ON, Doyle opted for a deeply saturated black and white color palette with a rough and almost porous grain, emphasizing the continuities that exist between the city—its streets, buildings and textures—and its inhabitants. The result was a choreography of sorts that highlighted the rhythm that permeates through everything; one that the photographer attempted to capture through a plurality of angles, points of view, and city experiences.
