Irrational Fear of Confined Spaces at the Firehall Arts Centre

The series is titled Irrational Fear of Confined Spaces, and yet that seems at odds with the moody images in Melissa Mercier’s solo exhibition at the Firehall Arts Centre: spacious, disorienting photos of land jutting into a lake. But it turns out the pictures were taken on a lakefront overrun with tourists—spurring the response to turn away from the crowded shores in the artworks. Dive into their blue-tinged worlds until January 12 in the theatre lobby.
