Скачать или смотреть Token Toronto Overlay art

This is a photographic overlay of Token in Toronto, Canada, located on Queen Street East. The photos were taking by Toronto artist Steve Socha over the course of several months.

I use an overlay technique to represent a different vantage point on the built environment, one that merges multiple instances of the same person, incorporating the element of time. The images seem to find the average, mean, or essence of the subject, by emphasizing only the repetitive elements. Using more than 50 layers in each image, I aim to capture an icon in the way people's memory works - a conglomeration of various fleeting images recalled as one. An anchor in each image is reinforced with every layer. The resulting portraits display a different way of viewing objects, one that incorporates the element of time and motion.
