Cormac Scanlan is an Ipswich based photographer who works predominantly with digital stills and digital video. Much of Cormac’s work emphasises or implies an immanence within the inanimate. In his photography and films, Cormac aims not only to capture the physical form of an object or location, but to depict and relay the feeling he experienced whilst examing it too, in this respect his work has a pyschogeographical element. Cormac trys not to be overly influenced by the subject matter of other photographers, but the theory behind his work is often influenced by the philosophical and sociopolitical theories of Guy Debord. This influence is particularly obvious in his recent short film Hylozoism; a non-narrative Holistic Documentary similar in style to Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka; which makes observations about the state of our planet using only music and video.
Cormac has also released a soundscape album and an album of ambient electronic music. These can be heard online or downloaded here:
