Inlet
Toronto, ON — lithograph and photograph / lithographie et photographie — 1973
Michael Snow gives us the classic Canadian image of the voyageur, brought up-to-date with casual, snapshot-like photographic rendering. The tilted horizon adds to the informal tone and foregrounds the technological interface separating us from the mythological ecology we long for.

Michael Snow nous présente l’image classique du voyageur au Canada, actualisée grâce à un rendu photographique de type instantané. L’horizon incliné ajoute au ton informel et à l’avant-plan l’interface technologique qui nous sépare de l’écologie mythologique à laquelle nous aspirons.
