Aoife Dunne (*1995 in Dublin, Ireland) is a digital installation artist who studied Fine Art Media at The National College of Art and Design in Dublin. She has been awarded an artist residency at the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) where she is currently working.

A fearless purveyor of fusing all manner of creative medium – sculpture, technology, sound, performance, costume, and video – she creates large-scale immersive environments submerging audiences into phantasmagorical, detail-driven physical and virtual worlds. Dunne’s multi-hyphenate background working as a professional dancer, art director, musician, stylist, and digital creator, has greatly influenced her multidimensional approach to creating large-scale experiential work. Her multidisciplinary practice also had a huge impact on her creative thought process and educated her about

the technicalities involved in making work from the perspective of both the performer and the observer. The experience she gained from working in the fashion industry over the past ten years has been crucial to the development of Dunne’s artistic practice, which is heavily focused on using costume as a vehicle to explore, express and define notions of identity.

With language that is rooted in post-pop and post-internet, Dunne creates immersive, multihued environments that conflate the two-dimensional moving image with the three-dimensional arrangement of objects in a space. At once dazzling and ominous, her surreal amalgams chart the psychological complexities, desires, and illusions that haunt late-capitalist culture, providing a critical yet also exuberant and absurd take on contemporary realities.
