Tim Head first came to prominence in the early 1970s with a series of ground-breaking installations and conceptual photographs. This is from a group of six photographic works which play on mirror-image illusions to create paradoxes and question how we view ‘reality’. In Ambidextrous the mirror held by a right hand reflects an identical mirror held by a left hand, provoking questions over perception and deceit. Head believed that the accessibility of photography strengthens its ability to act
as a portal for examination of society and the man-made environment.
