Peter MacCallum is a painstaking researcher, a historian with a camera. Four trips to the site of Vimy Ridge saw the artist scrutinize the contemporary remains of the battlegrounds, cemeteries and the restoration of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.  The resulting images invite dialogue between past and present, between imagination and a distant reality.

Bertrand Carrière's Caux captures muted aspects of a turbulent history along the Normandy Coast, particularly the beach at Dieppe, where many Canadian soldiers fell in the Dieppe Raid. His photographs uncover the ruins of the strange legacy left behind in the landscape, where cliffs rise up in an impenetrable fortress of harsh and arid beauty.
