La Mamma Morta

I don’t try to hide the fact that I love Nuit Blanche. It feels like a grown-up’s Christmas, and to me it’s one of the few times in the year when everyone in Toronto comes together to really witness something cultural and something really wonderful.

Just like last year, I was out all night (after checking out Brazilian Girls live – a topic for another post) up until about 5:00am seeing what artists had to offer this year. Things were fairly low-key for me up until the very early hours of the morning at about 3 or 4 when I started making my way home.

At around 5 I came across the exhibit that I shot in the video above, La Mamma Morta that was truly surreal – not only due to the fact that I was exhausted and freezing from the single digit temperature and probably slightly delirious, but because it played out right next to the historic St. James cathedral just down the street from my place.

We’ll have a bunch of other videos going up throughout this week over at Dear Toronto so your best bet would be to subscribe to Dear Toronto in iTunes to make sure you don’t miss anything and get the best video quality possible!
