Missy Brinkmeyer
Thursday 4 December 2025 - Saturday 10 January 2026
Curated by Margarita Cappock
Missy Brinkmeyer’s practice is grounded in how we navigate each other in public—inhabiting space together while remaining separate. The resulting photographs feel like encounters with empathy itself: driven by instinct and emotional intelligence, a form of quiet contact. As the artist herself says "separation is just an illusion, we are all connected".
We are seen.
For Seen, curator Margarita Cappock focuses mainly on images from central Dublin, including the area around the gallery. It is not intended as a conclusive statement on Brinkmeyer’s practice, but as one way to slice through her prolific image-making and reveal something about how she works.

Missy Brinkmeyer has shown internationally in the US, EU, and UAE, as well as, and prominently in, Ireland.
