Photo Museum Ireland, Tuesday 15th October - Saturday 19th October
Photo Museum Ireland is delighted to present the premiere of Ruth Medjber’s Her, Allure (2024), a visual journey through the landscapes and moments that have shaped her life. The work presents a series of evocative and striking images, featuring rich colours and dynamic compositions. Medjber has a talent for conveying deep emotions and compelling narratives, simultaneously intimate and powerful.
For Medjber, ALLURE is more than a fleeting feeling—it is a force that has propelled her across Ireland, guiding her to pivotal places in her life. This photographic odyssey reflects on the paths she has taken—choices defined by a restless curiosity and a rejection of convention. In this new work, we see Medjber’s interpretation of ALLURE as an ancient energy, a nomadic instinct that urges us to move, to seek, and to connect.
At the heart of this series is MayKay, a close friend and musician, who becomes the embodiment of ALLURE itself. Her presence in these images reflects Medjber's own impulse to surrender to life's flow—embracing adventure and spontaneity over stability. This persona invites us to consider the allure of an uncharted life, one that embraces the joy, danger, and uncertainty of constant movement.
Born and raised in Dublin, Ruth Medjber has built an extraordinary career at the intersection of live music, portraiture, and storytelling. From shooting global icons like Grace Jones and Beyoncé, to her celebrated pandemic project Twilight Together, Medjber’s work consistently captures moments of raw intimacy and human connection. ALLURE is a continuation of this theme—an exhibition that dares us to follow our own instincts, wherever they may lead.
