TimnotSimon is a queer visual artist based in Amsterdam, working with large-scale balloon installations that transform space, emotion, and perception. His soft sculptures, installations, and performances emerge from a queer perspective: bold, tender, and unapologetically expressive. Rooted in queer club culture, his work often inhabits nightlife spaces where inflated forms come alive through light, sound, and movement. These environments become temporary sanctuaries: places of fluid identity, transformation, and liberation.

Tim uses latex balloons for their immediacy and impermanence. Fragile and defiant, his creations evoke flora, fauna, sex, the body and creatures that reflect the ever-shifting, uncontainable nature of queer existence.

Central to his practice is a deep commitment to the queer community. Through visual art, performance, and collaborations like the party collective BUTTS, Timnotsimon creates safe spaces for expression, joy, release, and collective reimagining.

In a world shaped by control, his art embraces softness, chaos, and queerness as vital, radical forces.

For the Freqy Rhythm takeover at @sissis.amsterdam, Tim will create a sculptural installation that unfolds above the dancefloor like a queer organism: a hybrid human alien body that feels both familiar and strange. Its forms will recall tentacles, roots, and veins, evoking the raw vitality of nature while also suggesting futuristic, otherworldly structures.

The main club room will be transformed into a temporary universe; a safe haven where fluidity, strangeness, and radical beauty are not only celebrated, but collectively embodied. The sculpture will honor how queer expression can emerge, transform, and fade, returning again and again to claim space with fierce, organic power.

Wow!🤩 What a special experience these five weeks of working in Muscat, Oman at the Royal Opera House.
I’m so proud of the massive balloon forest decor that @sannedanz and I originally created in 2023 for the opera Robin Hood at @fondazioneteatropetruzzelli in Bari.
To have the chance to bring it to life once again—this time in Oman—and to see the school children of Muscat (and adults) enjoying the performance was so great.

@sannedanz and @marcelsijm , i am so grateful for you bringing me into this project three years ago. Thank you for seeing the potential in my work, believing in how far I could take it, and trusting my abilities.
Working alongside such experienced, professional and inspiring artists has been a huge learning experience—one that continues to shape and elevate my practice.

Oman has been wonderful. The people are so kind, the country is beautiful, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with and for the Royal Opera House.
And of course, for the whole Petruzzelli crew: Avrai sempre un posto nel mio cuore! 💗💖 taken in Muscat, Oman by @timnotsimon

OOST: Heavy heart, full of love and pride: last edition was @timnotsimon’s final time with BUTTS. After six years of putting soul, spirit, creativity and countless balloons into it, it’s time to turn the page.

All of the magical decors might have stood out to you first, but Tim’s addition to BUTTS has entailed everything from conceptualization to performance curation, close communication with artists, connecting with the community, performing themselves and content creation. Tim: from the first knot to the last detail–your tireless work has made this beautiful queer party to what it is today. Thank you for everything, and then some. We’re sending you infinite love for all of the wonderful things coming your way ❤️

For BUTTS that means a new twist on visual identity and decor; more on that later. For now, enjoy all Tim’s work made for Butts in chronological order🌈 taken in OOST by @timnotsimon
