It was a simple decision for me to invite my friend David Campion to participate in this exhibition. David and I met many years ago through our common interest in documentary photography. Our work has shown together on a number of occasions and our first books were released at the same time by Arsenal Pulp Press. Over the years, we have maintained an almost weekly dialogue about the nature of the photograph and its meaning. These conversations have energized our work, supporting significant transformations in both of our art practices. Throughout this time, with our points of reference shifting, we have continued to be compelled to pick up the camera and make photographs.

David Campion
David Campion’s work explores power and its repercussions. Coming of age in apartheid South Africa gave him a distrust of dominant social mythologies. With recent work in Canada, he examines the mechanisms of invasion and dispossession. Campion collaborated on the Man Turned to Stone: T'xwelátse exhibition along with Stó:lō Nation and The Reach. “Between Us” belongs to the series Caught in Collection which was made at the Museum of Anthropology. His work appears regularly in books and galleries. He lives with writer Sandra Shields and their young son in a trailer park on the Leq’á:mel First Nation reserve.
