Tim Simmons - INTERVENTION projected

UK based photographic artist Tim Simmons’ INTERVENTION series consists of large-scale, ethereal landscapes. He works with a large format camera and artificial lighting to accentuate detail in the landscape in a way that natural light does not. The resulting images have a surreal, otherworldly quality, in the realms of fantasy, beyond obvious recognition. This illusive atmosphere inspires quiet reflection, prompting questions about mortality and our place in the world.

An installation piece of this body of work entitled 'INTERVENTION, projected' comprises a freestanding projection screen, which will be touring throughout the UK in 2010 at various spaces and events. This journey began at the London Art Fair with a billboard takeover from 21st December 2009 and a screen on the lower forecourt. The installation ran daily from 13^th – 17^th January 2010.

Tim’s work has an inherent connection to the environment. It examines the multilayered relationship we have with our surroundings, and how subtle changes to our expectation of a place alter our
perception of it. Through this exploration of organic form, his imagery elicits an immediate, visceral response to its aesthetic presence and beauty, drawing attention to the fragility of our planet.
