As well as an art director and a graphic designer, Cristian Ordóñez is a photographer working and living in Toronto, Canada. His photographic practice is related to his everyday life and what surrounds him in general. This discovery process form a visual narrative that helps him feel at home as a foreign in a new land.
I found interesting his series ‘Mimico’ documenting a centre for english speaking adults who have not completed post-secondary education and his series of places which express his experience and relationship within the space.
The first picture of the West End is striking my eyes as I am wondering what this three different places are doing together: people watching on the bottom right, the swimming pool and the beautiful view as a background. It seems that the swimming pool has nothing to do with the other parts of the picture creating an unexpectedness which I liked very much.
