STRUCK

CONNOR REMUS

STRUCK IS A MINIMALIST EXHIBITION THAT REIMAGINES THE VINTAGE MATCHBOX AS AN ARTIFACT OF DESIGN, MEMORY, AND IDENTITY. LARGE-SCALE, CLOSE-UP PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS SHOWCASE MATCHBOXES, LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL, ENLARGED TO REVEAL TYPOGRAPHY, WEAR, AND THE STORIES ETCHED BY TIME.

EACH PRINT IS PAIRED WITH A SINGLE BURNT MATCH, A SMALL BUT POTENT SYMBOL OF USE, MEMORY, AND TRANSFORMATION, THE FLEETING SPARK OF A MOMENT SHARED OR AN IDEA IGNITED.

THIS EXHIBITION MARKS A RETURN TO CONNOR'S ROOTS IN FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY. A GRADUATE OF THE BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS - IMAGE ARTS PROGRAM AT TORONTO METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY (FORMERLY RYERSON UNIVERSITY), REMUS REVISITS HIS FOUNDATIONAL PASSION FOR EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF DESIGN, NOSTALGIA, AND STORYTELLING THROUGH THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LENS.
