Luke Kuplowsky

Luke Kuplowsky’s work is interested in cinema’s potential for challenging the way we perceive the world around us.  He is a York Elia Scholar and SSHRC research fellow whose current project explores imaginings and philosophies of community in contemporary documentary and fiction film and media, attending to their capacity to give rise to creative forms of attention, care and responsibility. Luke is also a practicing musician currently working on a series of albums that interpret and respond to the poetry of Ryōkan Taigu and Bohdan Ihor Antonych (among others) through a Canada Council Research/Creation grant and the Boris Horodynsky Music Fund.

His current role in the Peripheral Visions Co-Lab is both as a researcher on Toronto's Lost Rivers and daylighting initiatives, as well as contributing and supervising music and sound composition for the project more generally.
