Tom Pope
Over the edge is a series of photographs combining Tom’s strategy of performance, repetition and the absurd. In his photographs we see the protagonist suspended within space as he translates his unbridled demeanour into absurd actions that result in an ambiguous record, allowing the subject of the photographs to become gravity defying ‘floating’ signifiers.Tom embraces the performative act and sees the photographic record of an event and the event itself as a form a creative dialogue.
