Chris Gergley

Chris Gergley is a Vancouver-based artist who has used his interest in photography as both medium and subject in several of his serial projects. His first major work, Vancouver Apartments 2005, is a series of 88 photographs of the lobbies of middle class apartment buildings. This work explores the success of typological photography as practiced by artists as diverse as Bernd and Hilla Becher or Ed Ruscha, and documents the quick decay of Modernist apartment buildings in Vancouver. Queen City 2002, is a growing record of images of Regina, Saskatchewan, Gergley’s hometown. His photographs are commonplace, capturing what is typical to many small North American cities.
