Elliot Buchanan is a London-based sound artist working across installation, sculpture and broadcast. 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 and crafted materials. His interests include late-stage capitalist culture, consumerism, spectacle, hyperreality, desire and identity.
