Employing aesthetics of stock photography through odd and abstracted still lifes of everyday household objects, this exhibition features a new series light boxes and moving image works by Jimmy Limit. Repurposing these objects into strange and elaborate sculptures, the work examines photography as both a supplier of commodities and a commodity in itself.
Presented in partnership with:
Toronto Design Offset Festival
