Timon Benson

b.1998, United Kingdom. Based in Manchester.

Timon Benson is a photographic artist whose work is concerned with relationships. For example, relationships between people, between places/spaces and between feelings.

‘I long for what I call sustained immediacy, which I understand to be eternal issues, relevant for human consideration. How to be a son, a friend, a meaningful, sensitive human in the world, but also to be valuable to myself. What I put into the camera, and what comes out on the paper goes through an internal emotional process which I hope has resonance for all of us.’
