Paulina Scheck Shoreline

The Leslie St. Spit is a rehabilitated landfill on Toronto’s East Waterfront. This exhibition consists of photographs taken during archaeological surveys carried out at the Spit between 2020 and 2024. The photographer’s lens explores the gentle interface between layers of rubble and the animal and vegetal realm, including playful interventions by anonymous builders working in the ruined medium. Photographs apply non-invasive archaeological attention to the historicised fabrics exposed on the rubble beaches, providing documentation, and exploring new ways to communicate the sensory and aesthetic qualities of stratigraphies produced by modern industrial forces.
