After a little hiatus, (video artist) Tess Payne is back with a new video - "My Still Life: A Tableau" (10 min.) - a "reflection on aging, infrastructure and erasure." It's a visual, poetic (and even funny) look at 30 years of living and renting in Toronto's inner city. 

VIDEO
MY STILL LIFE is a visual and poetic reflection on aging, infrastructure and erasure. Heading into
retirement - or "colours of nothingness" - Tess Payne playfully confronts life in Toronto's inner city as a renter and a single woman.

Presented as an ever changing tableau, her day-to-day activities are framed within the relentless transformation - into "real estate" - of what she tenuously refers to as home. (10 min. HD)

PHOTOS & VERSE
A collection of 10 photo-based images with a poetic text printed on each surface. The images are culled from lived experiences, and the poetic texts speak to personal reflections, from owning a pet, to aging, to everyday rituals in an old, downtown Toronto apartment. (10 mounted & framed Chromira prints)


The exbibition runs from May 21-26 from 10am to 6pm.
