An Urban Horizon in Slow Motion
Before tower development transforms Toronto’s Midtown, this is what it looked like.
Midtown Light documents one year from a balcony in Davisville Village. The series features 40 panoramic sequences that showcase the neighbourhood’s light, weather, and character throughout 2023. Soon, forty-story towers will replace the tennis court and low-rises below. This part of Midtown is about to change forever.
Each panorama was shot handheld in one continuous sweep and edited for consistent perspective. Three panoramas compose each sequence, revealing how the same view transforms over time. Some show light shifting within minutes or hours of a single day. Others track seasonal changes: winter’s moods, autumn’s progression, and the sun’s shift along the horizon.
