Work with me...
Elliot Buchanan...
is a London-based sound artist working across installation, sculpture, broadcast and experimental music. His work is situated between an ironic, post-modern cultural critique and a sentimentality for human connection. Working through his own existential anxiety as a result of living through permacrisis, he creates sensorial environments utilising sound, scenography, and assemblages of found materials. His interests include late-stage capitalist cultural production, consumerism, spectacle, hyperreality, desire and identity.
