A brief exposition of photographs showcasing works of melancholia. A melancholy that is triggered by many things: forgotten memories; a feeling that we're only going through the motions; remembering the ache of just trying to belong. Or, perhaps, it's just the ambivalence of colour, the certainty of shadow, or the textures and grain of film that makes us feel that way. Maybe it's all of those thing; or none of them
At the Auburn Saloon, downtown Calgary
(163, 115 9th Ave S.E.) until Saturday, March 3rd. 2012
