Tim Theo Deceuninck (*1992, living and working in Belgium) is a photography based artist, city-farmer and time traveller. With his hands touching the ground, his work is in direct relation with nature, working in the field of regenerative ecologies / restorative histories / anachronistic aesthetics / rituals of growth and loss / social botany. Through historical processes and narratives, the artist tries to gain a deeper insight in the historical use and memory of the landscape. As part of his process he elaborates lens elements, focal points, early measuring instruments and camera mechanics to fully understand the photographic medium. Since the analogue photographic process is based on the use of silver nitrate, which needs toxic chemical development to make a latent image visible, Tim Theo Deceuninck got interested in non-toxic and non-iron based exposure and printing techniques. He started experimenting with different organic materials and methods of extracting light sensitive material from natural resources.
