An exhibition about things of importance in our lives
captured on instant film.

Exhibition June 12 - 24 at the Rivian Space at Brentwood, Burnaby.
Opening reception June 12, 6:30pm

Even the smallest things can be BIG if the situation is right. A seemingly small success might have a big impact, an everyday object can carry a big meaning, or a little internal voice could translate into a monumental experience. It is important for us to celebrate the big things, and notice and cherish the small things with big potential.
Capturing a big thing on instant film can elevate its importance by the singular, unique nature of an instant film image. No two are alike, each is a tangible object you can hold in your hand or tuck away in a pocket for safekeeping and future viewing. Instant images can be shared with friends and traded. This exhibition is a celebration of things that are BIG for each of us that we want to share with everyone.
