For the month of May, “Time Capsule”, a series of abstract images by French artist Laure Tiberghien is hanging on the walls of Davisville subway station.

on the walls of Davisville subway station, 4 large photographs have been mounted in the display cases usually used for ads. Photos by Laure Tiberghein

Tiberghien doesn’t use a camera to produce the images.  Instead, she creates them by exposing light sensitive paper to different natural and artificial lights.  Further processing is then required.

Dark colours behind glass make a mirror and these images are no exception.

The images have been inserted into the newer display cases that the TTC now use for advertisements.  On the left of each case is TTC information.

    those old, original Union-to-Eglinton stations, when “utilitarian” was the only design criterion! the art work is a plus
