Toronto’s Scotiabank Nuit Blanche 2015 in Photos

Toronto’s Scotiabank Nuit Blanche took place last night across our city. The annual art event which first started in Paris transforms the city of Toronto with art installations adorning the city’s streets and landmarks. Here are a few of the great photos we noticed from the night.

 

Nuit Blanche first stop at Nathan Phillips Square. Oh, and I literally just woke up. Lol. This is part of a project by New York & Paris-based artist JR called Inside Out: Face to face to face. This one is interactive as you can participate by having your picture taken at the photo booth and having it plastered on the cement floor of the Square. I’ll have to come back during the day time to see the finished project. ____________________________________________________

I hope these participants in Glaciology were dressed warm enough for this slow moving project along Queen’s Quay. #snbto #snbtoblogto @francetoronto

#snbto: I honestly like Nuit Blanche installations that don’t have many people swarming around it (or better yet, none at all!!, as had happened to me only once in ten years—last year). This one at Artscape Wychwood Barns, called “Up in the Sky High” by artist Faisal Anwar, features pictures of previous Nuit Blanches hanging off of balloon things. #wwim12/#snbto_wwim12: Since the friggin ‘Gram insists on “#todayimet,” so how about this hungover and tired folks: #todayimet @dania.q and @clairee_22! Well, I already met the latter, but Dania and I ran into each other whilst finding the @6ixwalks instameet to begin the night, and ended up seeing more stuff together long after the meet was done with. My legs are done with. ?? A photo posted by Steve.o H. (@hellothisissteve) on Oct 4, 2015 at 7:29am PDT

A late #snbto night & a warm embrace. ‘The Lovers of the River Almonda, 2015’ invites participants to pose for a photo with their loved ones in this project that generates artworks as photos and poems are shared throughout the night!
