There is no fiction stranger than reality.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Montreal-born photographer Robert Polidori’s<\/a> new exhibition at the Mus\u00e9e d’art contemporain de Montr\u00e9al is one certainly not to be missed. The thoughtfully curated exhibit graciously leads patrons through such places as Chernobyl, Beirut, Havana, and a post-Katrina New Orleans. Having gained notoriety in recent years for his highly controversial Hurricane Katrina photos, Polidori’s list of honours and awards includes receiving the Eisenstaedt Award for Magazine Photography twice.<\/p>\n

The 59-piece exhibit showcases select works from the last three decades. Each large-scale photograph begins with a framework of abandoned architecture and high levels of detail reveal layers of human presence. While reminiscent of Renaissance perspectives, the analytical sense of the images exposes parallels between human destruction and human excess.<\/p>\n

The exhibit will remain at the museum until September 2009.<\/p>\n
