Looking, Looking

This photo essay is inspired by the 2023 AGO exhibit “Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear,” encouraging viewers to fully immerse in each moment: looking up, behind, around, closely and twice. It features the Gooderham “Flatiron” Building, St. Lawrence Market, Berczy Park and the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Two buildings in an intersection of a street filled with people and cars
Two people looking inside a souvenir shop, and a person standing beside a dog
A carton of tissue paper and a wall calendar that says "Calgary Flames"
A canvas tote bag with a floral design and text that says "one sweet mama"
A graffiti on a brown wall that says "Daisy"
An exterior of a building surrounded by traffic lights and street signs
A meat shop stall with a flag of Toronto Maple Leafs hanging
A person carrying a dog in a bag walking past a sausage display
A fountain with statues of dogs and a bone at the top
Three musicians blowing into trumpets on the streets and an open suitcase
A person looking at paintings inside an empty museum
A wall painted with black stripes and text that says "You Look Beautiful Like That"
A person framed by an opening of a bronze statue
Two bronze statues of people looking down
Two people in a room with mirrors and countless silver balls
A person and a painting with another person interacting with a deer
Two photographs of a person crouching on the floor, one is naked
A person looking at a collage of aircrafts in the sky
A yellow painting on the wall and two people walking away
