MARK PIMLOTT

In Passing

“I discovered two strips of negatives in a drawer, in my parents’ house.” So begins Mark Pimlott’s In Passing, a book of photographs as memoir investigating “junctions in time.” Photos from those two strips of negatives made when the Montreal-born artist/architect, was 12 years old set the stage for a book.” Fundamental and fleeting perceptions revealed the World to me,” the artist writes. “I saw meaning embedded in spaces and objects: their forms held the key to understanding both the human impulse, the World, and one’s place in it.” The almost mythic black and white and color photos, gorgeously reproduced, span the wide open spaces of the Canadian prairie, the 1960s paradox of suburban banality and futurism, light captured in spaces both personal and anonymous.
