Sur(reality)

April 24 – June 3, 2007
  • INDEXG
Patrycja Orzechowska, Rising II, from

Sur(reality)’s photographers work in vastly different styles, yet echo each other in their definitive lack of pure coincidence; their art reveals laborious, ingenious processes.

Poland’s Patrycja Orzechowska is a dreamer and performer who explores vision, subconsciousness, mystery, space and the mind. The Cabinet collects her private experiences, producing images of human nature in photographic cycles.

Nostalgic and melancholy, Czech photographer Kamil Vojnar’s work explores corners of the soul sheltering human emotions. Life, death, freedom, restraint: such feelings speak in Vojnar’s images in personal, enigmatic ways.

Korean photographer Park Hong-Chun’s recent work consists of magical large-scale photographs composed of hundreds of 35mm contact prints, repetitions of motifs such as car plates (Seoul III) and city windows at night (Apartments).

Tokyo-based photographer Hideo Suzuki constructs small, meticulous photo-narratives. Based on Western culture, they beautifully communicate Eastern morality. Sun of Eden is inspired by Adam and Eve, while Dorothy’s Home Economics: Family Crisis in Doll’s House portrays middle-class tragedy.

Jill and the Holiday Fair is a new series by Toronto photographer Katyuska Doleatto. This modern-day fairytale sees vintage dolls restyled and posed as celebrities, portraying values imposed upon young women as well as desire for and submission to these values.

Note exhibition run is split as follows:
April 24 to May 13: Orzechowska, Suzuki, Vojnar.
May 15 to June 3: Doleatto, Hong-Chun, Suzuki

CONTACT is a Toronto based non-profit organization dedicated to exhibiting, analyzing and celebrating photography and lens-based media through an annual festival that takes place every May.

Land Acknowledgement

CONTACT acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and that this land is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. CONTACT is committed to promoting Indigenous voices; to generating spaces for ongoing, meaningful, and creative Indigenous-settler dialogue; and to continuous learning about our place on this land.

Anti-Oppression

CONTACT is committed to the ongoing development of meaningful anti-oppressive practice on all levels. This includes our continuing goal of augmenting and maintaining diverse representation, foregrounding varied and under-represented voices and perspectives via our public platform (the Festival and all related programs), as well as continually examining the structures of power and decision-making within the organization itself. We aim to actively learn, grow, and embody the values of inclusivity, equity, and accessibility in all facets of the institution, as an ever-evolving process.
