Information

Ryan L. Moule works at the intersection between photography, moving image and installation. Often utilising unstable materials and processes as a methodology to destabilise the ‘passive flow’ of contemporary visual culture, his practice-based research seeks to draw attention to the representation of time and its passing.

Moule’s research alludes to traces and remains of natural and human histories, presenting an almost disappeared past and uncertain vision of the future - echos from a civilisation to come.

Moule has exhibited both nationally and internationally in group and solo show including National Museum of Wales, Cariff, Serchia Gallery, Bristol, Materia Gallery, Rome, The Photographers Gallery, London, Flowers Gallery, London, Jerwood Space, London, Ffotogallery, Wales, Format Festival, Derby & ICA, London.
