Herzog has self-consciously drawn upon documentary traditions in photography while incorporating something of an outsider’s idiosyncratic sensitivity to a new environment into his work. Within his images, bodily gesture, the detritus of consumer culture and the architecture of the street take on a heightened resonance, as the impact of modernity becomes visible in the everyday life of the city.

Much of Herzog’s work was produced on Kodachrome, a colour slide film that was difficult to work with in a spontaneous fashion. Herzog’s use of colour was unusual in the 1950s and 60s, a time when art photography was almost exclusively associated with black and white imagery. In this respect, his photographs can be seen as a pre-figuration of the “New Colour” of photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston, which received widespread acclaim in the 1970s, and the work of contemporary Vancouver photographers such as Roy Arden, Arni Haraldsson, Karin Bubas and Christos Dikeakos.

Herzog has been active in Vancouver’s art scene for more than forty years, while working as a medical photographer from 1957 to 1990. During that time he participated in group exhibitions at the National Gallery of Canada, Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery and UBC Fine Arts Gallery (now the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery). This exhibition is the first to examine Herzog’s overall body of work

I am familiar/comfortable with our downtown east side, any one wishing to document with a partner or two the ever changing demographic is more than welcome to note me.

As for how to know me on April 14th,at the Robson entrance? I'll wear a goofy big red/orange flower if its sunny and I'll pin one to my umbrella in the.. giggle here Vancouverites..unlikely event of rain.

Looking forward to taking in one of our celebrated photographers with you all.
