Another Happy Day: Found Photographs from the Collection of Jonah Samson
Another Happy Day brings together an exhibition and publication of anonymous photographs found on eBay from the private collection of Canadian artist and collector Jonah Samson. The photographs in Another Happy Day reflect his unique collection of compelling figurative photographs, dark sense of humour, and attraction to the macabre. Samson’s interest in voyeurism is evident in the collection through often violent and sexualized images, contextualizing the many sources of his practice.
