AND ONCE WE WERE – Photography by Kara Schuster
May 12, 2011 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
ICCT photographer Kara Schuster shows her work during the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival … the subject is Djúpavík, Iceland, former herring capital.
In a remote region in Iceland lies a valley untouched by modern development. It is here that Schuster photographs nature’s influence on a society that modernism left behind. Djúpavík is a small fishing town, home to a 1930s herring factory that was once the largest concrete building in Iceland but closed in 1954. The beauty of the surrounding mountainous landscape is echoed in these haunting architectural remains, a testament to the silent hand of time.
Opening night is May 12th. Exhibit runs May 1st – 31st
