Brad Rimmer - 'Don't Look Down' (m/aco006)

Don't Look Down is a compendium of images from Brad Rimmer's 'Don't Look Down' series, inspired by the Swiss Alps.

From ancient times to the present, the Alps have had mythological, spiritual, and romantic significance. Recognisable peaks, like the Matterhorn, have become trademarks for chocolate companies and the like; their rugged profiles filtered into our everyday lives, even places far away. Over the past century, advances in engineering have made access to viewing platforms easy in the Alps, and nor thousands of tourists line up to photograph these scenic vistas every day. For his series Don't Look Down, Rimmer sought to alter these views, and thereby question the experience of what we already know in our collective memories. By deliberately inverting the image into an unnatural colour palette, the landscapes become foreign and unsettling.
