House of Bâby is a 16′ X 35′ (4.5m X 9m) lenticular image.
As the viewer moves, eighteen people come into focus from the blurred crowd. They represent eighteen of the Black and Indigenous people who were enslaved by the Bâby family in Toronto, Windsor and Detroit. Their unpaid labour produced great wealth for the family. This artwork imagines the group in our contemporary moment, no longer constrained by the past as property nor languishing in the obscurity of the archive.
Collaborator artists are, Camal Pirbhai and Camille Turner.
Exhibit at Great Hall in Union Station, Toronto Canada
