Cows hit the ocean beach for sun, fun, and surf in the award-winning photographer, Christopher Rimmer’s latest exhibition, Amapondo which opens at the Jan Royce Gallery in Cape Town next week.
Shot on location in the Transkei’s hauntingly beautiful nature, Amapondo features large scale portraits of big bulls contentedly chewing the cud in the most unlikely of places – the beach. Rimmer, who worked on the series throughout 2013, is well known for photographing what is real and presenting it as surreal and has certainly succeeded in doing the same again with these cool photo series. The series features some magnificent domestical animals in stunning clarity and detail.
The world renounced professional photographer who spent his formative years in South Africa is currently based in Australia and says that Amapondo was one of the most difficult projects he has ever undertaken.
