 As we orbit around the sun, the buildings and structures around us shape our experience of sunlight at street level, illuminating new details and perspectives with the changing seasons. The CityPlace neighbourhood in Toronto is marked by numerous high-rises. The light bounces off buildings to create ever-shifting patterns of light and shadow. How can photography offer a reflection on these fleeting moments in our environment, highlighting new ways of experiencing our public spaces?  

Bathed in Strange Light is a photo-based installation exploring notions of time and the sun’s shifting impact on urban settings. Through layered exposures, a process that parallels the sun’s behaviour and ephemerality, Natalie Hunter captures memories and subtle details found around Canoe Landing Park between the winter and spring seasons. Presented as translucent images affixed to The Bentway Studio’s western windows, the work performs as slow-moving cinema activated by the sun and revealing itself in new ways throughout the day.The images throw shifting pools of light into The Bentway Studio and its adjacent Terrace, creating latent images across its concrete surfaces. Playing with architecture, photography, and time, Hunter’s images scatter fragmented scenes of local infrastructure, plant life, and the sky as a continual meditation on the possibilities of the sun’s relationship with the built environment. Working in collaboration with the sun’s rhythms, Hunter’s images harness its transient power to see our public realm in new ways.

Bathed in Strange Light is commissioned by The Bentway, in partnership with CONTACT Photography Festival.  Supported by the Balsam Foundation, City of Toronto, Government of Ontario, and TD Bank Group. With help from partners at the Ontario Arts Council, the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund, and the Save Your Skin Foundation.
