Hamish Logan
Videographer, Photographer, Soundscaper and Researcher
Hamish Logan is a boundary-pushing visual artist working at the intersection of science, bodily sensations, and mythology. With a striking ability to evoke profound emotional and intellectual responses, his work weaves together abstract and realistic visuals, film sequences, spoken word, and immersive experience design installations. Hamish’s practice invites viewers into scenarios that deeply engage the eye, heart, and mind, drawing them into a dreamlike state where boundaries blur and new realities emerge.
Central to Logan’s oeuvre is his exploration of third landscapes, liminal spaces that harbor the ghostly presences of entangled human and more-than-human existences. These landscapes, rich with ecological and metaphysical meaning, serve as sites for his homages to life and his meditations on death as a perpetual state of being. In this space, Logan masterfully blends elements of scientific inquiry with poetic expression, offering a nuanced perspective that honors life’s interconnected and transient nature.
Hamish’s fascination with astronomical and physical phenomena—such as black holes, asteroids, and quantum realities—further infuses his work with speculative depth and a feminist touch. By investigating these cosmic themes, he steps into the realm of fiction, crafting narratives that dissolve traditional binaries between the mythical and the empirical, the microcosmic and the macrocosmic. His art becomes a vessel for contemplating the modern abyss of human psychology, while simultaneously reaffirming the significance of bodily presence. For Logan, the body is not just a form but a channel—a living archive that blurs the lines between reality, memory, and imagination.
Logan’s practice is a bold synthesis of traditions, integrating sculptural soundscapes and mythology into his visual narratives. His musical compositions—intentionally crafted to accompany his installations—transform his works into multi-sensory experiences, immersing audiences in alternate realities. These soundscapes resonate with the otherworldliness of quantum possibilities, evoking a realm beyond the tangible, where the speculative and the deeply personal converge.
In both his solo and collaborative projects, Hamish Logan’s work stands as a testament to the collaborative power of art. By engaging with science, mythology, and the experiential, he creates immersive yet intangible worlds that challenge perception, inviting audiences to reimagine existence through a lens that is simultaneously exposed and intimate.
Logan’s works have been shown during CTM Berlin at MONOM and he worked for such as BBC and the Aantwoord.
