Nuit Blanche at Union Station - Heather Nicol, Imminent Departure 2009

Artist Heather Nicol's installation, "Imminent Departure" at Toronto's Union Station.

From the Nuit Blanche catalogue: "Dislocated from her home in New York after the events of September 11th, Heather Nicols work reflects on the vicissitudes of memory, loss and desire. Life-changing upheavals whether caused by personal, economic or historical events serve as the backdrop for her intervention into Toronto's historic terminus. Union Station is the arena for countless stories of last-minute escapes, missed connections, lovers' reunions, hitting the road, and being run out of town. This space will be transformed to evoke the romance and heartbreak of travel stories brought about by unforeseen crises."
