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 spent ambition – abandoned service stations, unfinished railways lines and rusted debris.

In ‘The Means of Progress’ lies a carcass of agriculture. Rimmer sets up an ironic tension between the title of his work and its subject – the means of progress has broken, leaving rusting debris in the parched Australian desert. What is lost and gained in the pursuit to always produce?

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 interested in the complexity of Australian history.
