Correspondences

Correspondences, a collaborative exhibition by 10 Canadian photographers, is tender, personal, and vulnerable. It is a love letter to the world around us in all its beauty and brokenness and an invitation to cultivate greater intimacy with our correspondents in the more-than-human world.

Correspondences takes viewers on a journey from the expansive landscape of Alaska’s pipelines to the overlooked insects that thrive in the shadow of Ottawa’s tallest building and to the collateral damage of roadkill. Get up close and personal with Sadie, a lovable dog who teaches her owner how to see. Explore the commons within a Hydro corridor and the surprising ways its neighbours use it. Imagine a world of wonder seen through a child’s eyes in Saskatchewan and delight in the way a woman moulds her body into the landscape of trees and rocks in rural Quebec. Contemplate the way water marks a city landscape after a flood and the pure beauty of light as it falls along a forest path. Reflect on the way trees and rocks wrap around each other along the Niagara River.
