Scott Rankin

Scott Rankin’s work is about personal, social, cognitive, and linguistic relationships—their structure and how they influence the way we think and view the world. Rankin received his BFA in photography and printmaking from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and began making video at UCLA. Reflecting Rankin’s interest in what could be called a phenomenology of linguistics, his work tracks the movement of time and people to investigate the ways in which experience is categorized and transfused into metaphor, memory, and culture.
