 place 0041 Port City
digital chromogenic print, approx 10.5" x 13.5” $95 The Downtown East Side from the water. The city is a seaport, which influences every decision from zoning to healthcare. It's among the biggest international seaports in North America and provides easy access for products manufactured overseas and shipped in containers through the port. It's one of the main sites where Canada's natural resources are shipped out. Most of what you see from here is zoned as port land or light industrial — a thick barrier between residential or commercial areas and the sea, preventing access for most people. So while the DTES is near the sea, there are very few places where you can actually touch it. The environment is gritty, low-rise, noisy, often dirty and polluted. It's a part of the city that the wealthy try to avoid. Comments are closed.
