Scotiabank Nuit Blanche
2011
I'
A condo presentation centre welcomes in viewers who find themselves, not in a model suite, but in a sprawling tent city. Projected marketing tag lines promise a blissful lifestyle against a backdrop of global tent cities. Occupancy is fleeting, however, as evictions happen every two minutes throughout the night thereby re-staging the much publicized displacement of Toronto Tent City dwellers in 2002.
