SEEING IN THE RAIN | 1981 | CHRIS GALLAGHER
Tick-tock. Tick-tock. The windshield wipers dance like the hands of a clock that mark the rhythm of the rain instead of the rhythm of the hours. When rain marks the time, it also marks the place. The city is out of joint, our perception is blurred, refracted, dislocated… Reality comes and goes. Closer. Farther. Slower. Faster. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Beep-beep. Swish. In Vancouver, it rains around 169 days per year, where I live only 80. I miss the rain. Will you join me on Granville Street?
