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 ‘Remains of the Day’, Rimmer captures the residue of a farming contraption. Flaking wood and rusted metal melts into the sienna dirt like the skeleton of a deceased beast. An image of abandoned industry and the harshness of the Australian climate, ‘Remains of the Day’ is a poignant portrait of exhausted ambition.

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