WhereDaily News: Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival: Celebrating 20 Years of Photography With 20 Public Installations
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 05, 2016) - The Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival marks its 20th anniversary this May, 2016. To celebrate, the Festival presents 20 Public Installations in urban spaces throughout Toronto and on billboards in eight cities across Canada. Positioned on streets, and subway platforms, or suspended from the façades and interiors of buildings, the Festival's Public Installations transform the experience of the city. Conveying narratives specific to the environment, its usage, and inhabitants, the interplay between the photographic subject and its surrounding context destabilizes the conventions of advertising and alters the patterns of everyday activity in public spaces.
