Exhibition Dates: February 15 – March 17
Volker Seding is one of Canada’s most accomplished photographers. His many different photographic projects are connected by a common aesthetic that is sculptural, precise, and always beautiful. In recent years, Seding has approached his subject matter from the vantage point of a witness. His project, the Zoo Portfolio, remains one of the most interesting documents of modern day exhibitions of wild animals. Near the end of this 10-year colour project, Seding began to recognize a few of his images seemed better suited to black and white photography. Remaining a visitor to zoos (his childhood home was adjacent to the Berlin zoo), a few years ago Seding began adding again to this series.
