Multiple Exposures Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of BOOK OF JOB, a solo exhibition of photographic work by Timothy Hyde. The exhibition opens on October 8, 2024, and runs through November 17, 2024.

BOOK OF JOB revisits the three projects that have consumed much of Tim's creative energies and time in the past two decades, projects that explore surprisingly similar themes — natural disasters, night prowls, and what Tim describes as "the ever-present scourge of our species, neighbor-against-neighbor violence."

“We humans confront fundamental forces in our universe, forces both natural and man-made. Such primordial forces are often hostile, frequently violent, and sometimes threaten our very survival. We encounter them as individuals, as families, and as communities. Humans have created mighty defenses against these threats, erecting tsunami walls, light for the dark recesses of the night, and education for our children against intolerance. But the world is scarcely less hostile today than ever before. And like Job, we are not entirely innocent," Tim says.

BOOK OF JOB will be Tim's last show at Multiple Exposures Gallery as he is leaving the gallery in December, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to see his thought-provoking work up close before his tenure at MEG concludes.

ABOUT ARTIST

Tim Hyde was raised in the Midwest but has lived in Washington, DC, for many years. As a photographer, he is best known for his work with natural disasters. He has covered earthquakes in Haiti and Italy, the tsunami in Japan, volcanoes in Iceland, and floods, tornados, hurricanes, and droughts around the U.S.

All of Tim’s work investigates issues around the relationship of man and nature, humans and their environment. One series he will be featuring at Multiple Exposures is called “Country.” This series includes photographs of buildings and structures in small towns and agricultural areas, showing a way of life that is passing. Our small towns and farms are not disappearing, but they are undergoing far-reaching changes. Underneath it all, mother nature is relentless in pushing back against our works.

Tim’s photographs have been published in the New York Times and a variety of other publications. He has won awards and exhibited his work around Washington and elsewhere. He was juried into the Multiple Exposures Gallery in 2012.
