During my residency in Adélard, Canada, I presented a second variation of an installation I had completed just prior to starting my residency (the other work featured on my profile). I tried to experiment more with my recently completed installation to explore in depth my medium and its dimensions in the space. I used approximately half of the drawings previously used but this time the audience could stand in the center of the work. By adding a broken mirror and a purple light, I attempted to expand the boundaries of my work to create even more complexity and space for interpretations.

Les paysages déplacés II (Displaced Landscapes II)

Entitled Displaced Landscapes, it is an in situ installation that I created during the Symposium in Baie-Saint-Paul in Canada in August 2021. For a month, I created a dozen drawings every day with acrylic diluted on Mylar paper. The drawings were hung on 25 metal wires. So it was a 3D work but composed of drawings on 2D sheets. They were suspended and they moved with the wind and the circulation of the visitors.  For this installation, I based myself on the archives of places and landscapes transformed or disappeared for political reasons and by wars. Places whose inhabitants were forced to leave. Landscapes that have witnessed a disorientation. I didn't want to identify places or to count the leaves that were hung. The loss of data being part of the concept. As time went on, I myself was no longer able to remember where each drawing corresponded to.
