Volker SEDING, 63 Artist
He spent decades photographing animals behind bars
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
Toronto -- Volker
SEDING used to visit the Berlin Zoo as a boy
after the Second World War. To get there, he passed women in
the street stacking up rubble from the destruction caused by
Allied bombing and Russian artillery shells that levelled the
city. At the zoo, he liked to talk to an ape in its cage.
Later, as a photographer, he travelled the world capturing images
of lonely animals in city zoos. The photographs from his project
are now part of the permanent collection at the Art Gallery of
Ontario, and at other museums in the United States and Europe.
Mr. SEDING, who was thrice married and devoted more than 25 years
to taking museum-quality photographs, was one of the top artistic
photographers in Canada. Some of his pictures are black and white,
some are colour, while still others were shot in black and white,
then painted by hand. Most were shot on a large-format Linhof
camera that used plates. After each exposure, a new plate was
inserted in the back of the camera. Later, he modified it with
a special adapter that accepted a custom-made roll of film. He
was technically skilled and built his own cameras from parts.
He kept only the negatives he considered his best.
"In his lifetime, he kept maybe 200 to 250 negatives," said Stephen
BULGER, owner of the Toronto gallery where Mr.
SEDING exhibited
his work. "Some photographs, such as the zoo series, were in
editions of 75. Others were in editions as limited as five or
eight."
Mr. SEDING spent decades on his zoo project, yet considered only
60 photographs worthy of it. Many of them provide the illustrations
in his book Captive.
"SEDING told me he would wait by a chosen cage for hours and
usually even days in order capture a certain revelatory motion
or movement," said Gary Michael Dault, who wrote the text for
Captive.
Mr. SEDING's second wife, Janet
DAWIDOWICZ, who is also a photographer,
often accompanied him. "We might visit four zoos and he would
only take an image if he thought everything was perfect. The
light had to be right and he was such a perfectionist, the images
were hard to find," she said. "He knew ahead of time which image
he was looking for, and he only shot what he wanted."
The photographer's reasons for concentrating on animals in zoos
were quite simple.
"Since I was a kid, the zoo has always been a magical place,"
Mr. SEDING once wrote. "Where else can one go where life on this
planet is presented in such density? Sadly, it is also a place
where some of the animals make their last stand.
"To me, there is still time for contemplation for what is left
of the animal world and in this sense, the camera here is simply
a research tool."
After zoos, his next favourite subject was old buildings, usually
in run-down neighbourhoods of Toronto, Montreal and New York.
The series was called Mainstreets, and like the Zoo Portfolio,
it took him years. If a building had been updated, he concentrated
on the first three floors to capture what the structure looked
like before its gentrification.
Later, he tried another technique. Using a super-wide lens, he
turned the camera on its side to take a vertical shot. That way,
he could concentrate on a single building, rather than its streetscape.
He also did studio work and liked to take portraits of people
sometimes blurring the faces -- and worked on still life images,
including hand-painted work of fruit floating in the air. More
experimental images came from working with plywood, which he
covered in wet cement. When it dried, he would place Chinese
herbs on the surface and move them around until he achieved what
he felt was balance. Then he'd take a photo of it. "Sometimes
he could do one in an afternoon. Other times, it took him a month,"
said Mr. BULGER.
Volker SEDING's early years were spent in a city under siege.
Canadian and British bombers hit Berlin by night, Americans by
day. His early life was coloured by the war and its bleak aftermath.
His father was an engineer who did not serve in the military.
"He often spoke of the hardships of growing up in postwar Berlin,"
Ms. DAWIDOWICZ said. "German history was difficult for him, but
he married two Jewish women."
Mr. SEDING studied film and photography at art school in Hanover.
He then apprenticed to photographers and did some work for German
movie director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. One day, he saw an advertisement
in a newspaper for a photographer's assistant in Corner Brook,
Newfoundland.
"I had this romantic vision of Canada as the last frontier. I
wanted to meet people who lived close to nature," he told a reporter
in 1980. He arrived at Gander Airport in February and was struck
by the beauty of frozen lakes and a landscape of stark pine trees.
Mr. SEDING once referred to his job in Corner Brook as being
"the town photographer." He got married there and after a year
or so, he moved with his wife, Diane, to Ottawa where he made
documentaries and industrial films, mostly for Crawley Films.
In the late 1970s, he began concentrating on fine-art photography.
He became successful, but never rich. Early photographs sold
for about $450; later ones fetched as much as $5,000.
In the past year, Mr.
SEDING suffered from kidney stones. He
was treated, but the pain continued. His doctors told him not
to worry. By the time he learned he also had cancer, he had three
weeks to live.
Volker SEDING was born in Berlin on January 2, 1943. He died
of cancer in Toronto on October 21, 2007. He was 63. He is survived
by his wife Barbara Levy, and by his son Mark from an earlier
marriage to Diane Williams. He also leaves sisters Gisela and
Brigitte.
A memorial will take place at the Stephen Bulger Gallery, 1026 Queen
St. W., Toronto, at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Robert
Died November 30th at the age of 80 in his home with his family
by his side. He leaves Mary-Lou, his one and only love of 55 years,
and sons Jamie (Johanna), John, Jeffrey, and Michael (Cathy).
"Papa" and "Grandpa Tom" will be greatly missed by his loving
and adored grandchildren Georgia and Ally, and Pip and Tommy.
Tom was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. His parents were Canadian
and moved back to Canada and lived in the beach in Toronto. He
attended Malvern High School. Tom enlisted in the American army
in 1944, trained at Fort Benning and Camp Crowder. He attended
officer training school and as a 2nd Lieutenant joined the 11th Airborne.
He shipped to the South Pacific where he served and upon discharge
returned to Toronto. Tom attended University of Toronto, Victoria
College, and was a Psi U.
Upon graduation he joined the Aetna Insurance Company - Group
Department, where he remained for the next 25 years. He then
moved to Marsh McLennan and worked there until retirement in
Lou and Tom were married in 1952. They spent twelve years in
wonderful Quebec where all four boys were born. In 1965 the family
moved back to Toronto and spent five years there before moving
up to Caledon.
Tom had many interests!!! He was a ski instructor at Talisman
and Caledon Ski Clubs, played golf at Chinguacousy Golf Club,
joined Caledon Mountain Trout Club where he enjoyed fly fishing,
loved to go duck hunting, shot pheasant in Wales, and was a great
skeet and trap shooter.
He started carving decoys and birds, proved to be extremely talented
and went on to win many awards at the Sportsman's Show and the
Canadian National Exhibition. There was a long waiting list for
his carvings.
In addition to a decades long interest in magic, Tom also enjoyed
bird-dogs, flying, scuba diving, sailing, photography, tennis,
painting and was an avid outdoorsman.
He was generous with his knowledge, loved for his sense of humour
and dinner party recitations, and always honoured his backgammon
debts to his wife!

from the nurses and Doctor
