BRUNELLA BATTISTA &
ARTIST BILL EDMUNDS
Dual Contrast: Two Advante Guarde
shows in one.
“Hyper-Reality” Born in Italy and living in
Chilliwack, Brunella Battista is an award
winning multimedia artist.
In her unique and immersive 3D photo
exhibit, life is captured in all its depth
and vibrancy, so close to almost touch it,
so real as to feel part of it. By looking IN
(rather than at) every picture, she affords
viewers the dream-like ability to get lost,
layer by layer, in the uncanny reality before
them.
Bill Edmunds: “People & Places” Born,
raised and educated in Cornwall U.K and
currently living in

inspiration for
this show comes
from exploring

with a view to

sent to him by complete strangers via
e-mail and after he has contact with them
on social chat sites.

landscape. There is a willingness to create
associations between different elements
of a visual experience. A world where line
has poetic rhythm, colour a musical tone.

on recreating
the details of
what I see” The
effect is to be
a cumulative
effect of looking,
not a single
stare but what
happens as you
visually interact
with your
surroundings
over a given
time. Trying to get to the essence without
the details.
