A figure halts the stream of image—momentarily. Not to block it, but to hold it, to be shaped by it. Projection meets person, and neither stays the same. Shadows don’t erase light; they reveal where it lands.

They gather beneath giants—paint, steel, and silence pressing down like weather. Here, they are not exhibits but echoes, resisting the stillness with their own weight of being. This is not interruption. This is grounding. A reminder that presence is also a kind of art.

Under the Gaze of Giants

In a quiet alcove beneath towering canvases, a small group of youth sit cross-legged, whispering between museum murmurs. Their presence, casual and at ease, contrasts…

Smoke traces the shape of what we won’t say aloud. Time slips between drags, between stories told sideways. The cold doesn’t bite—it clarifies. Here, outside sanctioned architecture, the body remembers its edge. And in the blur of smoke and breath, truth flickers briefly—then vanishes.

Smoke Break, Truth Break

The sidewalk becomes a threshold—between class and conversation, between performance and pause. Smokers linger in the hush before reentry, clustered in quiet familiarity.

We walk not just forward but inward—through a corridor lined with knowing. Each carving, a pause. Each sculpture, a signal. The visible vault glows ahead, but the path matters too: lined with memory, with meeting, with the kind of learning that sinks deeper than words ever could.

Toward the Vault

The corridor outside the gift shop hums with quiet reverence.

A scoop becomes a witness. The swirl is not dessert—it is doctrine, layered with pixel-static and the soft surrender of vanilla in fluorescence. Forty-six thousand five hundred fourteen eyes have seen it, but none tasted the same myth twice. The cone, pinned to the wall like a saint. Cold sugar, eternal return. A bite taken in Elmwood ripples into the archive of glances, archived now in memory, now in metadata. Art lives here—not in frames, but in freezers, in marker-signed mandates, in the quiet sermon of soft-serve melting into ritual.

Soft Serve Frequencies

The cold hum spills sideways across time, tasting like the absence of plans. A cone dissolves before it’s named. Somewhere between ketchup packet and ceiling…

This project reflects Tony's dedication and hard work. From the initial meetings to the careful curation and exhibition, every step was a personal journey of learning. Through black and white photography, Tony has shared a story that honors the process, capturing moments of growth and reflection from start to finish.

The Story Behind It

Winnipeg in Black and White is more than a photo essay—it’s a quiet act of reclamation through attention, patience, and trust.

Through Winnipeg in Black and White, I’ve explored the hidden stories of the city, capturing moments where light, shadow, and silence reveal deeper connections to place. This series, shaped by both photography and digital editing, invites viewers to reflect on the urban landscape from an Indigenous youth perspective.

City Seen, City Felt

Through this project, I sought to explore the spaces that make up Winnipeg—not as fixed landmarks but as living, breathing parts of a shared experience.

Autonomous Operation

Digital Salvage explores the use of digital archiving, artificial intelligence, data organization, publishing systems, and content preservation technologies to support heritage and community storytelling. The project serves as a practical learning environment where participants develop skills in digital literacy, research, content management, automation, archival practices, and emerging technologies while creating lasting public value.

Acknowledgements

This project was an activity piloted with strategic arts innovation funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse in 2022. We thank them for their support.

Experimental Futures

Digital Salvage explores the long-term relationship between technology, creativity, memory, and knowledge. The project examines what happens when information systems continue to evolve beyond their original creators, creating new opportunities for autonomous research, publishing, cultural preservation, and digital stewardship.
