Steven Pippin creates his own darkrooms out of unusual objects—a bathtub, a washing machine, a wardrobe. Since he places equal importance on developing these devices and on the photographic results, he is as much a sculptor as a photographer. His experimental photographic structures are based on physical and astronomical models that fascinate him. His Point Blank series concentrates many questions about the contemporary profusion of images: by creating photographic images that bear witness to the destruction of the camera, he highlights the risk of iconographic implosion that we find ourselves on the verge of.

Born in 1960 in Redhill, Steven Pippin studied mechanical engineering before studying fine art at Loughborough College and sculpture at Brighton Polytechnic and Chelsea School of Art. He lives and works between London and Berlin.
