The Alternator Centre, Kelowna, is showcasing zev teifenbach’s collection of 30 lightboxes that document a cold evening in Salmon Arm almost 3 years ago.
‘A polar vortex was incoming and I photographed the empty streets and brightly lit houses as I pushed through the wind and driving snow.
The images have text superimposed on them that tells a story. A story of displacement. A story of loss. A story of a world changing through climate crisis and the eminent brain surgery of my son.
There’s something very vivid about the lightboxes that brings you into the present of when and where the photos were taken. In this way, I invite you to walk with me through Salmon Arm on this cold blustering evening to share a very internal monologue as we survey the town. To me, this is landscape, where thoughts merge with the topography. Landscape is the place where our stories are told.’
