Kevin Brennan (b.1993, Ireland) lives and works in London and is a graduate of The Slade School of Fine Art. Brennan’s practice is centred around filmmaking, taking various forms from short films and video installations to feature length documentaries. His work explores ideas surrounding technological evolution and its impact on human relations and experience. Using a variety of cinematic genres, and visual languages from gaming and the online media, Brennan’s work speaks to a shift in human ontology and identity - tracing the fragility and disintegration of empathy.
