KEVIN MCCOLLUM / BASEMENT SERIES

Kevin McCollum is a photographer whose work explores spaces in transition. Documenting large-scale developments, making images as a visual record before progress alters the purpose and aesthetic of these environments. His process involves seeking details and moments of chance stumbled upon. The works are studies of silence and an exploration of isolation, a split second in often-mundane surroundings that are beautiful or of visual interest. An empty space generally walked past, ignored and taken for granted. 
Basement Series evolved out of a commission to document a specific space. The body of work is a personal study of colour, repetition, form and texture. The process and evolution of the project acted as a form of escapism. It allowed and encouraged a degree of experimentation. Making a series of images in the same space, utilising a variety of techniques. The location of the images is a basement and vault of a former bank headquarters in Edinburgh city centre.
