How do we come to understand a place through second-hand accounts?
Hannah Campbell is exploring the mythic territory that is the Arctic, with her new exhibition at the Burnaby Arts Council's Deer Lake Gallery.
Campbell was on hand Saturday, Feb. 1 for an opening reception for the new Arctic Fiction exhibit.
Hannah is an artist and environmental activist from Vancouver who took part in an Arctic Circle residency in 2013, travelling aboard a tall ship along the coast of Svalbard, Norway.
Arctic Fiction features photographs from her journey, accompanied by the storytelling of strangers. She posts her photographs through online classified ads, asking strangers to interpret them through fiction.
It's on at the gallery until Feb. 22. Check it out at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., and admission is free.
