Tom Pope’s practice encompasses performance, photography and film. Pope states, “I work with performed photography where the act of creating a photograph or film is transformed into a performative event. I often work in public spaces, where the public are invited to become participants in my works. Participation plays a large role in the works I produce; the situations I orchestrate leave space for improvisation and spontaneity.”
Having studied Photography in the Arts at Swansea Metropolitan University, Pope then received his Masters in Photography from the Royal College of Art where he was also the recipient of a Deutsche Bank Award. His works are in various collections including the National Museum of Wales and National Portrait Gallery.
