CKG is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new photography by Calgary-based Julya Hajnoczky. This body of work was first exhibited in Julya’s spring show at The Whyte Museum, but due to public gallery closures with Covid, was largely unseen. We look forward to introducing you to this must-see body of work that is not only magical but equally a thought-provoking look at the natural world that surrounds us. “With the constant drumbeat of climate crises going on in the background, it seems that change for the better may be out of reach. We have forgotten that our relationship with nature must be equitable, reciprocal. In attempting to investigate the world with scientific detachment, we ignore how this endeavour is limited by our human perspective. In creating these images I hope to direct the viewer’s deep attention and affection towards the details and intricacies of natural ecosystems, but also to provoke questions about our species’ seemingly insatiable drive to take, to possess, to bend the natural world into human form.”
