Samuel Laurence Cunnane
A Photography graduate of IADT, Dublin (2011), Cunnane uses film and chemical photographic processes, to produce hand-printed photographs. Influenced by documentary film, Cunnane's approach to photography has always focused on the apparatus of the camera as analogous to the mechanisms of the eye and the act of witnessing itself. He is interested in the formal interaction between eye and lens and where the shortcomings of both interact. Recent solo exhibitions include Boxes Museum of Art, Shunde, China (2018); Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2016); THEODORE:Art, New York and Kerlin Gallery (both 2015). In 2012, he worked in the Maysles Documentary Centre in New York, spending time alongside its founder, the celebrated American filmmaker Albert Maysles, to hand print his collection of documentary photographs.
