THE WRECKAGE
Anthony Redpath
About
Anthony Redpath is based in Vancouver, B.C. He endeavors to transform ordinary, everyday scenes into heightened depictions of our shared social experiences. Referencing his own life experiences, he explores the human condition through themes of time and nostalgia, loss and despair, loneliness, and interconnectivity.
The Wreckage depicts a staff event in Ucluelet, B.C., circa 1969. Ecotourism was not yet popular, but the area was known to dapper hippies who were not part of the resource-based worker population. This work comments on the transformation of society in this coastal community.

Anthony Redpath est un photographe contemporain qui exerce à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. Il s’efforce de transformer les scènes ordinaires du quotidien en intenses représentations de nos expériences sociales communes. À partir de son propre vécu, Redpath explore la condition humaine à travers les thèmes du temps et de la nostalgie, de la perte et du désespoir, ainsi que de la solitude et de l’interconnexion.
The Wreckage dépeint un événement organisé par les membres du personnel à Ucluelet, en Colombie-Britannique, vers 1969. L’écotourisme n’était pas encore populaire, mais la région était bien connue des hippies qui ne faisaient pas partie des travailleurs exerçant dans le secteur des ressources naturelles.
Cette œuvre commente la transformation de la société dans cette communauté côtière.
