Les territoires sédimentaires
Les derniers glaciers (The last glaciers)
Les derniers glaciers combines the artist’s photographs with archival photographs related to the mining industry in the North of Québec, in order to construct new landscapes, understanding territory as a work of the imagination.
Voix du Nitassinan (Voices of Nitassinan)
Voix du Nitassinan refers to the language that emerged from the lives of Innu people on their territory. Made of excerpts from an Innu-French dictionary, the project comprises a series of declarations that evoke an intimate relationship with the land. The dictionary, territory of language, becomes the meeting ground for an encounter between two languages, two cultures, and an opportunity to listen and learn from Innu culture and its words. Once translated into French, the words in Innu-Aimun become sentences which, through their significance and their poetry, call for open-ended reflections. The phonetics represent an invitation to listen to the voices of a language that is first and foremost spoken, bearing the realities and myths of a culture. The words are floating within the dictionary, like fragments of a narrative, a story written by language itself.
Nuit des longs jours (Long days into night)
Nuit des longs jours presents obscure landscapes, evoking the difficulty of obtaining a clear image of a territory.
