In her latest short-story collection, I Still Don′t Even Know You, Michelle Berry dispenses with eyes-wide experience and uncanny perception, the unbearable truth that no matter how well you think you know your closest friend, your lover, your family members or neighbours, you will never truly know them.
Visual artist, Evan Tapper, has created a series of films of a similar theme. Both will appear together for the first time, to share their wisdom and insight through literature and art.
Michelle Berry has been widely published in many Canadian literary magazines, national newspapers, and anthologies. Two of her three novels have been published in the UK and Canada, and she has published two previous collections of short fiction. Born in California and raised in Victoria, B.C., she lives in Peterborough, ON with her family.
Evan Tapper was born in Winnipeg and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the School of Art, Carnegie Mellon University. He attended residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in the United States, the Center For Contemporary Art Kitakyushu in Japan, and Charles Street Video in Canada. Evan's video, animation, installation, and performance work has been shown in Canada, the United States, Europe, South America, the Middle East, Australia, Japan, and China. He is currently based in Toronto.
