Justin Wonnacott : Figureground
Observateur du théâtre urbain | Observing the Theatre of the Streets
— Pierre Dessureault
Justin Wonnacott perfectly embodies the historical figure of the street photographer. The images of crowds on sidewalks that he has been accumulating for decades reveal his thirst for knowledge of human beings and their behaviours. From Berlin to Tokyo, and in Canadian cities, the same expressions, fashions, and compulsions emerge. Wandering among them, as Wonnacott does, we realize that each and every one of us is swept up in this portrait of society. With an essay written by Pierre Dessureault.
