When the 98 images are paired - which photographer took each one is never identified - they explore the blurred edges of North American and European culture, of the familiar and the exotic, of shared and individual experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pairs of photos are augmented by a series of textual responses - some in English, some in French - to the 49 words. The passages act more as complements to the photos than as captions, providing an anecdotal context for the photographers and their project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs were exhibited at Toronto's Robert Birch Gallery and the Art Gallery of Sudbury, Ontario, in summer 2002, and in Caen, France, and Erfurt, Germany, in 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Armstrong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308076642555,"sku":"9781552451069","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781552451069.jpg?v=1772484720","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/jim-9781552451069","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
