Bill Lobchuk and the Grand Western Canadian Screen Shop in Winnipeg were instrumental in helping Lebredt realize Natural Facts and many of his other prints produced in the 1970s. Pictured in the print are the members of the former Screen Shop, from left to right: Len Anthony, Gordon Bonnell, and Screen Shop founder, Bill Lobchuk. This is a complex print reflecting Lebredt's interest at the time in showing that the analogue image is, structurally speaking, already digital, that is to say, already a constituent of one or more discrete “grammars.” He demonstrated this notion by transposing the photographic image from one medium to another, and breaking down the image as much as possible along the way. The final image consists of over fifty impressions. Lebredt included-en abyme-a source photograph and smaller print to emphasize the transpositions.
