Multiple Exposures (2011)
In MULTIPLE EXPOSURES, Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge depict the same location in Canada over a period of six hundred years.
Starting with a pre-colonial forest, the eight photographs portray the economic history and with it the corresponding impact on the landscape and the environment. Via the fur trade, the near extinction of the beaver, a chemical factory from the Sixties, and modern industrial environmental pollution, the viewer ends up at an office block, the ‘financialization’ of the earth’s economy and global warming. Each photograph depicts two workers: one represents the price workers pay in the form of injury, illness, and unemployment; the other represents forms of resistance against the employers, who are also depicted.
