“More Real Than Reality” – May 1-31
From May 1-31 visit Campbell House to see our exhibition “More Real Than Reality”: The Art of Canadian Composite Photography, 1870-1930, curated by Kaitlin Normandin, Shelsie Tunks, and Danielle Varadi-Starer for the Photographic Historical Society of Canada.
“More Real Than Reality” features never-before-exhibited composite photographs and artifacts from the Photographic Historical Society of Canada’s collections, spanning the rise of the technique in the 1870s to its decline by 1930. Through guided and independent exploration, visitors will experience the work of Canadian artists (such as William Notman, James Inglis, and Hannah Maynard) who were integral to the foundation of this process, and varied images of high society, politicians, sports teams, the academic elite, and landscapes.
The exhibition was listed as one of the Top 10 Exhibits at CONTACT Photography Festival by Toronto.com and is a Featured Exhibition in the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, the largest photography event in the world!
Join us on Wednesday, May 27 from 6 – 9 pm for a closing reception, with remarks by the curators, the PHSC, and a special guest speaker!
