Paddy Kiernan (Ireland)
Paddy Kiernan is a musician and photographer, based in Dublin. In 2021, he self-published has been walking, a short-run colour photozine of images made during his daily walks in 2020, investigating the suburban landscapes of his local area. In 2023, he released Don’t Dance ‘Til The Music Stops, exploring the realities of his time as a working musician in Ireland.
In 2025, Kiernan published FOLLOW THE MOSKVA, a collection of images made while walking in Moscow in 2018.
“Paddy Kiernan’s latest zine, FOLLOW THE MOSKVA brings the viewer on a tour through Kiernan’s documentation of everyday life in Moscow. Through spontaneous and, at times, playful observations, the black-and-white images present an unrefined yet contemplative view of the post-soviet metropolis, its people, its scale, and its history.
FOLLOW THE MOSKVA provides a contrasting sense of familiarity and curiosity throughout the zine. From a parent pausing by the Moskva river bank watching a tourist boat slowly trawl down the river with their child on a sunny afternoon; a woman daydreaming while staring at the reflective tiles in a subway station; to a street corner lined with soldiers standing at equal intervals casting long shadows on the empty footpath in front of them. We view these scenes simultaneously from the perspective of an outsider, and as someone who passes these streets on a regular basis.” — Jonathan Ho
