These endeavors involved careful planning, were often years in the making, and had precise conceptual and technical parameters. Many images from these undertakings found their way into books, journals, and exhibitions.<br /> <br /> Alongside this work I have always ‘just’ been taking photographs. Sometimes images were made to test the viability of a potential project, sometimes they acted as visual mnemonics but, perhaps most frequently, I simply liked what was in front of me. Ambiguity and chance naturally excluded these spontaneous images from those other exacting and thematic projects.<br /> <br /> Occasionally, some of these anomalous images found their way to my Instagram account, but I’m tired of the dopamine jags, the endless ‘dead see scrolling’, and the unsolicited content on that platform. <br /> <br /> So, I started a photo-based newsletter using Substack. It's called The Received Image, . <br /> Here's how it works:<br /> <br /> Once you sign up (it's free and you can cancel anytime, anonymously) a few images mined from my archive will be emailed to you on an occassional basis. No grand theme or pronouncements, simply images which I think you might like to find in your inbox — an appropriate gesture given the language of early photography. For, as Kaja Silverman has noted, before the 1880’s, the verb most commonly used to describe the act of making a photographic image was not to take, but to receive.<br /> <br /> <br /> Sign-up here :<br /> <br /> <br /> For the past 15 years, I have been using photography as a tool for a wide range of projects centered on cultural infrastructures and the built world.

Le phare is a filmic portrait of this nocturnal marker, a spinning beacon that has been raking four long beams of light across the city's environs since 1972. The nightly presence of the beacon's intense, rotating rays is reassuring for many, and yet also oddly perplexing: the illuminating machine does not providereconnoitering for aviation; it is not synced to act as a time-keeping device; nor does it commemorate a specific historic moment or personage. Indeed, the lights have no practical function or particular memorializing role whatsoever. The beacon serves only as an evanescent, immaterial monument to itself.

Le Phare est un portrait d'un marqueur nocturne, une balise en rotation qui balaie de quatre longs faisceaux de lumière les environs de Montréal depuis 1972. La présence nocturne des rayons intenses et pivotants de la balise est rassurante pour plusieurs, et pourtant aussi étrangement troublante : la machine d'éclairage ne fournit pas de reconnaissance pour l’aviation ; elle n’est pas synchronisée afin d’agir comme une horloge ; elle ne commémore pas non plus un personnage ou un moment historique spécifique. En effet, les lumières n’ont aucune fonction pratique et aucun rôle commémoratif particulier. La balise sert uniquement de monument immatériel et évanescent à elle-même..

Present-day barriers in its aerial itinerary poignantly mark points of rupture between the utopian geography conjured by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Terre des hommes, which inspired Expo’s anthropocentric theme, “Man and his World,” and a site irrevocably transformed by time’s passage."<br /> - Adam Lauder, Flash Art, October 2017.<br /> <br /> "David K. Ross... is fascinated by the totality of Expo67. He thinks of it as a movie set. "The pavilions functioned like sets, hosting tens of thousands of extras everyday... and the fair's mini-rail was used to realize long tracking shots," says Ross, referencing the fair's myriad visitors armed with Super-8 movie cameras.<br /> <br /> Ross invites the viewer to travel the train's original route in the sky... This return to its past, this "memory of a memory", was not done out of nostalgia, but to illustrate his relationship with Expo67.

Au moyen de la double exposition et autres techniques utilisées en chambre noire, les photographes portraitistes créaient l’illusion que le ou la défunte accompagnait leurs sujets. Une fois les clichés développés, ces photographies d’esprits révélaient des figures floues et fantomatiques qui rôdaient en arrière-plan, suscitant le faible espoir que les disparus continuaient d’exister sous une forme spectrale quelconque.*<br /> <br /> À la fin d’une répétition ou à la tombée du rideau après une représentation théâtrale, le régisseur exécute un dernier rituel avant la fermeture des portes : le positionne- ment de la sentinelle sur scène. La raison pratique derrière ce geste est d’assurer la sécurité de quiconque a besoin d’accéder à la scène dans une salle qui serait autrement plongée dans l’obscurité. La sentinelle délimite le pourtour de la scène, évitant les chutes dans la fosse d’orchestre ou dans la salle vide. La tradition veut que la sentinelle soit allumée pour tenir compagnie, pendant la nuit, aux fantômes qui hantent le théâtre. Il semblerait que, quand toutes les lumières sont éteintes, les fantômes se pensent abandonnés et qu’ils créent alors des difficultés sur scène.<br /> <br /> *Gerald M.

Like Mies, Demachy also painted the actual canvas which formed the surface of the mock-up, though the painter had an advantage over the architect.

This place is basically a junkyard. There is nothing like the torch Prometheus brandished, but instead a discarded cigarette butt or two. Could the CAT-box’s small stained vent be the counterpart to Prometheus’ eternally ravaged liver? The robust, tragic name Prometheus is vivacious enough to animate the box. Even if it has no psyche the CAT-box is for a moment another Prometheus. For a moment the CAT-box has a faint hidden soul."<br /> <br /> From Jean Randoph's essay Sometimes a Name Is Just a Name in Ciel Variable, Issue 116.<br /> <br /> "This place is not the stormy site to which Prometheus was condemned by Zeus.

According to superstition, this act also prevents mischievous behaviour on the part of any resident phantoms. In the time of coronavirus, the role of the ghost light was recast. More than a pragmatic safety measure, or a paranormal prophylactic, the ghost light came to as a symbol of resistance.<br /> <br /> To make these images, I spent the better part of a day alone in 17 of Montreal’s shuttered theatres between April and November of 2020.  Nothing but my phone playing songs on repeat, rows of empty seats, and a single low-wattage bulb on a stand kept me company. 
It was a humbling and destabilizing experience. Things that at first had the impression of being far away, moved closer.
