Leon Nevill Gallagher is a contemporary Irish photographer and print maker living in Berlin.
His practice lies in conceptualising the space between people and communicative technology, creating documents reflecting on the emotional and physical shift occurring as the surface of our interpersonal needs reposition themselves.
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, rather than a means to an end.
‘Iva’ is a photographic diptych made as Leon's and his partner’s relationship began to form a sense of certainty. A moment of respite as the physical distance between them settled in. Looking onto his partner, he found himself welcoming a nameless longing for home. A void which had found itself sheltered by Iva’s presence, by a cold Spring river in the south of Germany.
