Organized by the Canadian Photography Institute of the National Gallery of Canada, The Extended Moment: Fifty Years of Collecting Photographs looks at photography as an ever-evolving medium and explores the role of photographer as an instrument of storytelling. Curated by Ann Thomas, former Senior Curator of Photographs and interim Chief Curator of the National Gallery of Canada, the exhibition presents 175 photographs and related images from the collection, juxtaposing historical photographs with recent works and a variety of mediums.
