Daniel Heïkalo was born in Montreal’s working class neighbourhood of Centre-Sud in 1954. He is completely self-taught and has been practicing the art of photography since 1965, when he started taking pictures of the old houses on and around the street where he lived, and of the architecture of Old Montreal and Old Québec. His fascination with vernacular architecture has continued unabated to this day, and his work on the destroyed and disappearing architectural heritage of his native city is receiving a lot of attention.
Daniel has had two exhibitions in 2010 at the Écomusée du fier monde, a museum dedicated to the history and architecture of his working class part of the city. The forty-one photos in the shows depict streets and buildings that are either demolished or completely disfigured by careless renovation and misdirected gentrification.
Daniel’s photography has also appeared on a series of postcards of Montreal, and been published in Canadian Geographic, The Montreal Gazette, and The Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation production guide. Daniel’s work that is of a more surreal nature, in the form of collages and digital imaging, has been used on several CDs. His work is also in private collections.
