Tim Georgeson
Tim Georgeson creates immersive cinematic spaces, through film, sound and photography where environments and bodies are transformed through the gaze of unexpected visual-musical ecologies.
His creative insight into the human condition gives his work a unique perspective at the boundaries of art and documentary, where through photography and film, he captures complex dynamics in contemporary life and merges these found moments with musical design and storytelling in ground-breaking collaborations, most notably with Australian Indigenous artists.
Georgeson has won World Press Photo, Leica Camera and National Geographic awards. He has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in France, UK, Japan, Holland, Canada, the USA and Australia. His work is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery of Australia, Art Bank, Bundanon Trust Art Museum and the Australian Museum, as well as in regional galleries, corporate collections and private collections internationally.
Georgeson is represented by Olsen Gallery, Sydney.
