OVER Journal issue 5

OVER Journal is a publishing project by PhotoIreland that represents in every issue a critical selection of contemporary photographic practices from all continents.

OVER Journal issue 5 presents a collaborative editorial project devised by four member organisations of FUTURES, the European Photography Platform, around the theme of Metamorphosis. For this special issue, OVER Journal invited 3 guest editors from the platform to tap into the FUTURES network to work with the journal co-editors. Reflections around  set the scene and introduce a selection of portfolios of FUTURES Talents.

The issue opens with articles that include those by Colin Graham and Joanna Zylinska, both reflecting on photography's adaptability and evolving condition, followed by the premiere of texts by two artists: a preview of AS IF, a new work by Eamonn Doyle, ahead of its launch in 2026 at the International Centre for the Image, and the presentation of a very personal reflection by Cristna De Middel around the experience of migration.

OVER Journal issue 5 was launched on 3rd October 2025 at the Fotograf.Zone Festival in Prague as part of the Annual get-together of the FUTURES Photograhy Platform.
