Vulnerable Light invokes the vulnerability and ineffability of photographic representation in the works of two nationally recognized photo-based artists: Isabelle Hayeur (Montreal) and Jennifer Long (Toronto). Both examine how contemporary photography plays with truth and fiction, intimacy and distance. Hayeur’s large-scale seamlessly composite landscape images mimic the sweeping tradition of the “natural” landscape. Long’s intimate studio portraiture delicately evades the sitter’s exact identity and her relationship to the photographer. Minimal in concept, the poignancy of the exhibition will rely on the ability of these two artists to create meditative spaces where the boundaries between fictions and truths are blurred and teased.
