Leon Nevill Gallagher is a contemporary Irish photographer and artist living in Berlin.
His practice lies in conceptualising the space between people and technology, creating documents reflecting on the emotional and physical shift occurring as the surface of our interpersonal needs reposition themselves towards the digital.
Leon refers to his work as hybrid ‘documentary’, yet it lies in a realm where documentary ends and narrative begins, drawing from fact and fiction to realise a synthetic reality that exists in-between. This approach requires the artist to consider the medium of photography itself as part of the process of uncovering, rather than a means to an end.
