In 2019 I participated in the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, which is an annual photo festival spanning the month of May.
Exhibition Description:
This exhibition uses augmented reality to breathe life into the Gargoyles and Grotesques that keep an eye on Toronto. Gargoyles are in fact water spouts that provide a method of drainage; otherwise the sculpture is considered a grotesque. Often sculpted as frightening, gargoyles, in addition to protecting buildings from erosion, also serve as guardians to ward off evil and encourage the viewer to seek sanctuary within.
Instructions:
Download and start the Artivive app on your smartphone or tablet. When you point it towards the photo, it will come to life (you can point your smartphone towards the photo on a screen as well).
The photo exhibit was displayed at the HGB Gallery (@ Spadina Auto), curated by Hans G. Bathija.
