FAUXREEL + SPECTOR = 

A CITY RENEWAL PROJECT

In 2008, Dan Bergeron (otherwise known as Fauxreel) collaborated with Gabriel Reese (aka Specter) in a recreation of a real city neighborhood inside a 5000 square foot Toronto warehouse. 

 

Hello? Synecdoche, anyone? I'm still getting over that movie.

Fauxreel and Specter rebuilt and reimagined actual abandoned storefronts in their indoor world, and added a dash of humor (don't get offended, ok?)

I love that they used real objects alongside photographed elements. Some pieces are black and white, others are full-color. It's like a 3D walk-in collage.

Fo real.
