Brenda Hoffert Street Theatre
Apr 30–May 31, 2009
While photographing a Montreal
laneway, Hoffert was struck by the
scene’s resemblance to a theatrical
set. Inspired by Shakespeare’s words
“All the world’s a stage,” the laneway
became the backdrop for her digitally
created vignettes. Each of these scenes
illustrates a distinct visual style and
emotional range, and blurs the line
between photographic reality and constructed
fiction.
