INTERVENTION Projected, by Tim Simmons

Fruits in Furnace by Jiangang Chen, China
"Furnaces are used to make the raw materials for fertilizers. Then the fertilizers are used for crops to grow fruits. Why don’t we just use the furnaces to make fruits? In my work I try to explore the other side of China - what we do not see in the big cities of Shanghai and Beijing with skyscrapers and new, grand buildings."
British photographer, Tim Simmons, will this week begin a year-long artistic journey around the UK, opening with a large-scale installation at The London Art Fair.
Following on from Simmons’ summer outing at Suffolk’s Latitude Festival earlier this year - which featured an outsized screen installation in the middle of the woods – Simmons has transferred his distinctive vision to the capital, with a purpose built screen set just outside the Islington’s Business Design Centre - where the London Art Fair will take residence for four days from January 13th.
Known for his ethereal photographic landscapes, Simmons utilizes abundant artificial light and a large-format camera to achieve his otherworldly aesthetic.
Projecting his work onto the freestanding screen in a series of divergent locations – think shots of an Icelandic river against the backdrop of a concrete cityscape - Simmons' INTERVENTION Projected tour will serve an altruistic slice of extra-gallery artistry in some unexpected places.
