A small Canadian town called Almonte (population: 4,752) has a 30-year tradition of making lookalike puppets of its residents; today there are more than fifty of these uncanny, latex homunculi, displayed strategically around town in shop windows, behind cash registers and on mantelpieces in private homes.

Puppet Town ​documents this tradition with a selection of portraits of Almonte townsfolk alongside their puppet lookalikes, accompanied by interviews. Together, they form an oral history that outlines how renowned puppeteer Noreen Young began creating the lookalike puppets, why they’re desirable and how, over time, they grew into a local phenomenon.
