The Land of Sun
Flying around the world is always the strangest experience. Yesterday morning I went from this...
...to this, in three hours.
Being in Florida is really making Mika Goodfriend's current exhibit in the FOFA really hit home. If you're around Montreal, you should really go see this exhibit before it's down. It's an erie, and interesting look at the retirement communities of Florida.
"Snowbirds is a social documentary study of Breezy Hill RV trailer park, a tightly knit community of French Québécois retirees living in the heart of Pompano Beach, Florida. Florida is home to the largest concentration of Québécois outside of Québec. 98% of the residents of Breezy Hill come from Québec, importing their unique identity and culture each winter. Though Goodfriend was born in Québec, he has have never felt part of its identity. Through his practice he endeavors to explore what being Québécois means to him by photographing those who he feels are woven into its cultural fabric." -Fofa Gallery
