In his series, Remnant, photographer Christopher Rimmer descends into the Australian outback. Set against the backdrop of covid, the resulting photographs are portraits of isolation, the Australian sublime and exhausted ambition – abandoned service stations, unfinished railways lines and rusted debris.

In ‘Mechanics Institute, South Australia’, Rimmer photographs an abandoned building in the desert. It rears ghostly from the sand, an emblem of lost industry. For Rimmer, progress - rooted in the desire to always be creating - forebears environmental degradation.

An internationally acclaimed Britain-born, South African raised and now Victoria based artist, Rimmer’s work is a compelling find for collectors of photography, contemporary landscapes and those who care for the environment.
