A meditative journey through Expo 67, re-visiting a significant moment in Canadian history using manipulated imagery take from educational and documentary films. Footage has been re-worked using tints, toners and photochemical techniques to create a vibrant collision of colours, textures and forms. The exhibition returns anew, in a startling display of beauty and loss.

"By the Time We Got to Expo's present-day meditation on a past event -- one specifically designed to showcase technological progress -- suggests a nostalgia not just for the event itself, but also for the novelty it stood for. The film's repetition of the same footage over and over implies a longing to dwell within this novelty, suggesting that the film's nostalgia is, at least partly, for the feeling of the 'new.'" - Olivia Heaney, Los Angeles Review of Books
