Billboards at College St & Clinton St, Toronto
Apr 28 - May 24, 2026

In the heart of the South Australian outback, along the desolate Stuart Highway, lies Coober Pedy, the surreal “opal capital of the world” and subject of this billboard installation and recently published book by Australian photographer Tim Georgeson. Kupa Piti / White Man in a Hole is a visual ode to nature and its power; a meditation on landscape punctuated by glimpses of human presence and the sacredness of the land. Through this evocative journey, Georgeson blurs the lines between utopia and dystopia, myth and reality, desert and dream.

Copies of the photobook are available now at @contact_pbl

Presented by CONTACT Photography Festival. Supported by the Australian High Commission in Canada and Pattison Outdoor Advertising.

Kupa Piti: White Man in a Hole by @timgeorgeson is now available for pre-order!

Set in Coober Pedy, the surreal “opal capital of the world” in the South Australian outback, the book explores a landscape defined by relentless heat and vast isolation, revealing only fleeting glimpses of human presence.

Through a series of black-and-white and colour photographs, Georgeson captures this strange frontier between desolation and possibility: barren horizons, hand-dug dwellings, and quiet traces of human presence. The result is a poetic visual meditation on life at the edge of the desert.

Expected release: May 2026

Get ready for the new Untitled Photobook: Kupa Piti: White Man in a Hole by @timgeorgeson

Georgesons' lens captures a post-apocalyptic frontier with raw clarity and poetic restraint. His photographs shift between barren horizons, hand-dug dwellings, and fragments of human presence, revealing a town caught between utopia and desolation, fortune and isolation. In black and white and colour, the images move between repetition and subtle shift, mimicking the rhythm of life where time, space, and silence stretch to extremes.

Currently in the Making: Kupa Piti: White Man in a Hole by @timgeorgeson

In the heart of the South Australian outback, along the desolate Stuart Highway, lies Coober Pedy, the surreal “opal capital of the world,” and the subject of an extraordinary forthcoming book by acclaimed visual artist Tim Georgeson. Named from an Aboriginal phrase meaning “White Man in a Hole,” it is a place of survival and descent, where lives are carved underground against desert extremes.

Georgeson's lens captures this post-apocalyptic frontier with raw clarity and poetic restraint.

In black and white and colour, the images move between repetition and subtle shift, mimicking the rhythm of life where time, space, and silence stretch to extremes.

This is less a portrait of people than of a condition of an existential frontier where survival, extraction, and imagination collide.

We are excited to share with you one of the 2026 books that will be released this Spring - Kupa Piti: White Man in a Hole by @timgeorgeson

Along South Australia’s desolate Stuart Highway lies Coober Pedy, the surreal “opal capital of the world.” In Kupa Piti: White Man in a Hole, Tim Georgeson captures this underground town shaped by heat, isolation, and lives carved beneath the earth.

Moving between black-and-white and colour, his images echo the rhythm of a place where time stretches, and human presence feels small against a lunar landscape. Rather than document directly, Georgeson lets the terrain speak through traces, silence, and suggestion.

Developed in close collaboration with editor @lucie_cerna , the book will be a layered, non-linear sequence that mirrors the fragmented psychology of the desert itself. You can expect a visual meditation on land, resilience, and the thin line between myth and reality.

We are delighted to announce that TIM GEORGESON has been selected for a 2 week residency commencing 17 November with @uapcompany at their Brisbane Foundry & Studio. He plans to explore new ideas and sculptural elements with UAPs diverse team of makers in relation to a new commissioned work in progress, ASTROGAZE, in partnership with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

Astrogaze: Ancient and Future is a groundbreaking, non-linear cinematic and sonic experience about the conservation of Lutruwita / Tasmania’s dark sky sanctuary regarded as one of the darkest skies in the world. Astroagze explores ancestral star mapping, songlines, and voice across the night skies of Lutruwita/Tasmania. This immersive work invites audiences into the vast, rarely witnessed cosmology of dark skies—at once ancient, urgent, and vital to our ecological future.

A cross-disciplinary collaboration featuring:Theresa Sainty (Palawa scholar) , Georgia Scott (Composer), William Barton (Music Advisor), Bob Scott (Sound Designer), Jordy Gregg (Creative Producer), Jamil Hassan (Executive Producer), Miriam Shevland (Dark Sky Advisor).

Launching in March 2027 at Ten Days On The Island, Astrogaze will be accompanied by a publication from Berggruen Press and an exhibition at Plimsoll Gallery, Hobart.
