Oscar Wilde's De Profundis
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
7 March - 1 October 2025
One of the greatest love letters ever written, Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis was the only work that the Irish writer completed during his two-year imprisonment.

Now, 125 years after Wilde’s death, MoLI is proud to present a new film installation rediscovering this moving and richly layered text – perhaps the most raw and honest version of Wilde available to us, at times deeply philosophical, at times white with rage, at times heartbreakingly tender.

A fresh perspective on Wilde’s brilliant mind and tragic life, MoLI’s De Profundis installation presents key passages of the text through the voices of a contemporary community of LGBTQ+ writers, artists and activists.

Monday–Sunday, 10.30am to 5.30pm. Last admission 4.30pm.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
