Soutien à la création

Le Cube is an outdoor video installation, created in collaboration with Les Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie, in which images are projected onto a large, cubic photographic support. By day, a panoramic image of the river envelopes the form; once night falls, meandering figures seem to emanate from it. Functioning as a trompe-l’oeil, this intriguing monolith contrasts another place and space-time with the landscape in which it stands. Viewers are invited to approach the piece and, in so doing, add their silhouettes to the installation. A shadow play then takes place (visible from all sides) as their movements blend with the idly ambling figures.
