'Edge Land' by Mark Kimber

“Edge Land”

The compelling force that drives my work is finding a situation where the play of light, form and landscape converge in time and space to create an elusive and ephemeral piece of theatre. This work stems from a 25-year fascination to photograph the urban landscape in which I grew up. Spaces while abuzz with activity and perhaps welcoming during the day are, by night deserted and conversely unsettling. Images with the appearance of a film or stage set, the backgrounds reduced to graphic and carefully lit, cut-out forms.

Camera time stretches beyond the moment-by-moment time in which we see, to a world of compressed time and unworldly colours glowing with a light only photography can see.

It is the space between the city and its borders, the gap that separates the populated and the empty, where pools of light offer shelter from the unseen just beyond their reach.
