In this his newest book, Peter MacCallum has assembled collections
of his documentary photographs of the last decade that examine the
particularities of the vernacular spaces of human labour, commerce,
and habitation. Conceived as series, these documentary photographs
juxtapose the miscellany of the commercial architecture of
Toronto's Yonge Street with the uniform elegance of rue du Faubourg
Saint-Denis in Paris; an aging zinc foundry in Montreal with a
venerable independent garage in Toronto; the functional Theatre
Passe Muraille in Toronto with the tiny, lushly decorated Theatre
du Tambour Royal in Paris. Shifting from the industrial to the
moumental to the domestic, MacCallum's roving eye lands upon the
gritty morphology of the coal-fired Lakeview Generating Station,
the restoration of Walter Alward's great limestone monument at Vimy
Ridge, and the classical Greek spirit expressed in the front
porches of ordinary Toronto houses dating from the early decades of
the 20th century. The result is an engrossing collection of
photographs that reveal a disarming beauty in sites that both
embody and encompass a rich history of industry, commerce, and
human habitation.
