Chris Gergley’s series Vancouver Apartments documents apartment blocks built between 1950 and 1970 between Davies and Beach St. The photographs that make up this series bear a striking similarity to the others while revealing the differences particular to each one. By presenting the lobbies of apartments visible behind glass entrances, variations in décor, lighting, color and ‘personality’ emerge from banal mid-century architecture, becoming metaphorical of human beings’ simultaneous unity and individuality.

These are great. I do however envision it one step further with staged scenarios taking place in the lobbies or entrance.
