In this exhibition, documentary photographer VanderSpek turns our eyes toward the taxi drivers of Toronto, provoking empathy and consideration for their lives. They move us around, but what moves them? In portraits and interviews captured throughout Toronto over several years, VanderSpek takes us into taxi drivers’ vehicles and into their worlds.
