Winnipeg-based photographer Karen Asher discovers a collective identity that parallels her city’s character with that of the people it contains. Her work touches upon the continual state of shifting identity in which Winnipeg — a city that never escapes a state of flux — finds itself. In Asher’s debut exhibition, No Cause for Concern, at first glance the work resembles a collection of b-sides, the images that would not be found in an album or displayed along a family’s staircase. Yet there is an unexpected beauty.
