This new L CON video for her song Oh How Love by Marc De Pape is a most-wonderful combination of archival photos and the contemporary city, mixed together delicately. The choice of photos is about perfect, the city seems a smokey-misty busy place, making itself so quickly there was no time to make anything pretty. All those faces, all those bathing costumes, of people in the street, a public being public, the spectacle, the faces in the crowd….Toronto the Good was alright.
