Christopher Rimmer’s much anticipated new body of work entitled, Remnant – the Tragedy of Lost Significance, will be exhibited in the first quarter of 2024.
Photographed on location in the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of Outback Australia, the exhibition comprises twenty-five, large scale, C type, photographs, throughout which Rimmer attempts to establish a thematic thread connecting progress and endeavour with arrogance and hubris, whilst at the same time producing a series of undeniably beautiful and highly striking photography.

As 2023 draws to a close and global events suggest once again that civilisation is beset by a new postmodern epoch of human failure, Rimmer’s exploration of the connecting tissue that binds progress and aspiration with futility and destruction, poses questions that require answers never more urgently than they do now.
