Tom Blachford’s (b. 1987) photography renders functional, man-made structures into hyperreal environments that fluctuate between reality and fantasy. The final installment of his Midnight Modern series – on view at TOTH Gallery, New York – is captured using only the light of the full moon.

Transforming California’s iconic mid-century Modernist architecture into surreal playgrounds, the images – devoid of human presence – collate past, present and future, offering  fertile backdrops for the construction of multilayered narratives.

Blachford was featured in Aesthetica Issue 73. The exhibition opens 19 October. Find out more here.
