rendezvous, 2025
Rendezvous is an underwater photo series where the body vanishes—and what covers it becomes the person. Suspended in water, dresses turn into shapeshifting stand-ins: breathing, bending, and drifting as if alive. In that fluid transformation, fashion becomes identity in motion—something to try on, remix, and release beyond the rules that box us in.
Born in Toronto in 1953, Cole works across multiple photographic mediums, including underwater photography and modernized wet collodion. Known for ethereal imagery depicting figures in states of weightlessness and transformation, she continues to push boundaries, blending traditional techniques with inventive approaches in her quest for timelessness.
Cole’s work has been exhibited worldwide, including the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo and Washington, D.C., and is featured in international corporate collections. She was the subject of an episode in the documentary series Snapshot: The Art of Photography II and published her book Between Worlds with teNeues in 2023.
