Bessie Goes To The Beach

Cows hit the beach for sun, fun and surf in award-winning photographer Christopher Rimmer’s latest exhibition, Amapondo, which opens at the Jan Royce Gallery in Cape Town, South Africa next week.

Shot on location along the Transkei’s hauntingly beautiful wild coast, Amapondo features large scale portraits of cattle contentedly chewing the cud in the most unlikely of places – the beach. Rimmer, who worked on the series throughout 2013, is well known for photographing what is real and presenting it as surreal and has certainly succeeded in doing the same again with Amapondo. The series features some magnificent specimens in stunning clarity and detail.

The world-renowned photographer who spent his formative years in South Africa is currently based in Australia, and he says that Amapondo was one of the most difficult projects he has ever undertaken.

If you would rather see cattle roaming tranquilly in a natural environment than living on factory farms and heading off to slaughterhouses, express your opinion by eating meat-free meals at least a few times a week. You can find a lot of inspiring promotions at http://KindMeal.my.
