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

‘The Machine of Dreams, Coward Springs, South Australia’ is an image of an automobile in demise. Like a dinosaur’s skeleton, the rusted car rears from muddy waters. Captured in Coward Springs, a former railway outpost of the old Ghan Railway Line, this work is a meditation on human ambition and asks, what is lost and gained in the pursuit of progress?

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.
