The Lost Vancouver: an unexpected Art Deco tour is honoured to be part of Capture Photography Festival. The curating team dives into the historical, social, and economical context that allowed and stripped away the Art Deco traces in Vancouver. Through a collaboration between Simon DesRochers Photographer and illustrator Mathieu Persan, the exhibition acts as a nostalgic interpretation of the city's architectural landscape through the two media of art.

This exhibition around art deco architecture and design in Vancouver draws a parallel between the work of British Columbian photographer Simon Desrochers and its interpretation by Parisian illustrator Mathieu Persan.

"this tremendous album is classic 'country noir,' perhaps even defining this term with its powerful atmospheric spookiness, as inherent in this as it was in the old hillbilly music, but with a very twenty first century perspective. Treat yourself to the majestic moodiness of 'The Heavy Wait' and I guarantee you won't regret it!"
