In 1987, "The Main: Portrait of a Neighborhood" celebrated tolerance and the urban immigrant experience around Montreal's Boulevard Saint Laurent. This 2025 re-imagining investigates belonging, identity, memory and the evolving photobook in a globalized world. Text in English and French.
In 1987 The Main: Portrait of a Neighborhood (9781550130461) was published and quickly sold out. The critically acclaimed project celebrated the communities around Montreal’s Boulevard Saint Laurent and contributed to the eventual designation of “The Main” as a Canadian heritage landmark.
In 2017 to celebrate the city’s 375th anniversary, the author was invited to re-imagine the original book. Returning to his former neighborhood, his new book weaves old and new photographs with texts and archives, inviting us on a journey into his creative process to reflect on questions of home, identity, time, memory, and the evolving urban landscape, and asking: in a globalized world where people and cities are in constant movement, what happens to places and memories? Can we go home again?
