Archie Rice-West is a 20-year-old photographer currently studying a BA Photography degree at UCA in Surrey, England. He was born in Hertfordshire and has previously participated in the 2025 We Create festival in Farnham, Surrey.
A Flicker is a photographic series where Archie Rice-West explores the scale of humanity in comparison to the universe, showing how small we are as a planet and species using deep space astrophotography, wide angle astrophotography and nighttime street photography. This works aims to make audiences consider the expansiveness of the universe and humanities potential insignificance in contrast. Light is used in the series to show how looking up at the night sky is looking into the past. Light travels at a constant speed and can take millions of years to reach us here on earth. The further an object is the longer the light takes to reach us meaning if that same object was to look back at us humanity wouldn’t even exist here on earth yet.
