Low Tide

2019 4min

The Toronto islands are subject to flooding and erosion. The ebbs and flows of Lake Ontario / Lake Iroquois have created the islands and will one day take them away. The shoreline is natural and artificial, built up with concrete sidewalk ruins but always just an ever-shifting sandbar. Footage was captured in 16mm Kodak Ektachrome during a 5-week residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point in 2013.
