International award-winning fine art and fashion photographer Barbara Cole has been selected to showcase her latest installation White NOise at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

White NOise includes eight 40” x 30” reflective lenticulars and two spectacular 60” x 40” backlit lenticular light boxes. The dynamic images intrigued Lee Petrie, curator for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA). She says, “Even as we were installing the show, passengers’ eyes were caught by the surprise of an apparently still photograph moving. This kind of experience draws people in and makes them pause to consider the image, and our relationship with water.”

White NOise is on display until January 10, 2010 in Airspace Gallery located in Terminal 1 at Toronto Pearson. The gallery is directly above the Domestic Arrivals Hall. Travel documents are not required to view the exhibition.
