Shadow Collective Rotating Exhibit
A Shadow Collective Photography Show
PART OF THE CONTACT FESTIVAL 2008
IMAGES ROTATED EVERY THREE MONTHS
Explore the not-so-distant past through
the eyes of The Shadow Collective. Our members present
studies in urban decay, documenting the final chapter in the
story of spaces long forgotten. Join us as we explore the
creeping shadows of modern-day ruins and illuminate the secret
corners of once-vital spaces that now lie empty. On our
journey we hear only echoes of the past –
children’s voices in a crumbling orphanage; the chatter
of workers in the remains of a factory; the clang of a
streetcar decades after its last run. These stark yet
evocative images bear witness to yesterday’s world, of
structures built, used, and forgotten. They speak for the
voices that have now fallen silent.

What comes first? The memory or the
photograph? Time by its inherent destructive nature blurs the
lines between what is real and what the mind recollects.
Exposing dark corners of the mind, memory attempts to recreate
the past but can only express through signs and symbols, a past
that is often lost forever.
Through this exhibit, I attempt to portray
that memory and history can appear in fundamental opposition.
My inspiration comes from Magritte, whose work constantly
challenged our preconceptions.
