Sean McFarland’s hallucinatory photographs are derived from his own images of the urban environment which he reassembles into three dimensional photographic collages that juxtapose geographically and architecturally unrelated aspects (e.g. a foreground image taken in one neighborhood might be combined with a middle ground image shot in another, which might be set against a skyscape from a third, etc.). McFarland subsequently photographs these three-dimensional tableaux to produce disorientating images where the city – invariably San Francisco or New York – becomes an uncanny model-like topography that is at once familiar and unfamiliar.

In 2001 Althea Thauberger placed an advertisement in a Victoria, British Columbia, entertainment weekly seeking young female singer/songwriters for a film project. From the resulting replies Thauberger would eventually collaborate with eight young women, initially recording their original songs in a professional recording studio, and then subsequently filming their individual performances against the backdrop of idyllic West Coast Canadian landscapes. The resultant film ‘Songstress’ – part-screen test, part pop video – is at once sincere and cruel, and explores the performers conflicting desires that are pitched somewhere between innocence and ambition.
