  • You Came Here by Chance | Photography Graduates Off-Site Exhibition

    You Came Here By Chance is a group exhibition, highlighting select 2013 photography graduates from Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

    The selected images aim to address the idea of space in relation to environment, both from a physical stand point and a state of mind. Through the included photographers considered contributions, the binaries of transience and permanence when occupying space are evaluated by the photographic medium and supplementary materials. As viewers interact with the works exhibited, it is intended that they in turn will begin to think about their personal relationships with the spaces they occupy.
