From a commissions perspective, Tim has done work for Queen Elizabeth Hall, the National Museum of Photography and the Corporation of London (among many others). Regarding his work, he has some really unique and creative ideas that have come to life. One is that of digital projection of real-time computer animation, onto the exterior of a building. His interest is in bringing everyday structures and putting them against socio-economic issues. Tim's work is really in installations in which he creates a scene or structure and photographs it.
Issues he is known to Discuss
- Domestic interior and the world of commerce: Roles of technology and corporate power
- Assumptions of advertising
- Trivial and Trash
Basically, he is slightly cynical in his approach to his installations: The world can only be perceived in its untypical form.
