Lieux-dits : les similitudes
Installation, sculptures and photographs. In this project, photography is integrated as a constituent material of a work that closely links two and three-dimensional space, one lending itself to the construction of the other.
In this project, photography is integrated as a constituent material of a work that closely links the two and three-dimensional space, one lending itself to the construction of the other. In these places of the imagination, the real and the fictional intersect. A journey strewn with memories and impressions, inhabited moments, fragments of memory multiplied and recomposed. On the traces of nature, the construction of a fake architecture. Passage and unfolding between a certain time and a virtual time, an attempt of reconstitution always deferred which is inscribed inside a vaster, unpublished story of the same history. Vacillation of time, place and space, this itinerary reveals intimate landscapes and a vision of the world updated by the detours of memory.
With a bachelor's degree in visual arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal, Sarla Voyer has participated in several group exhibitions. Here, she presents her first solo exhibition with Lieux-dits: les similitudes. In June 1994, she will present the second part of this autobiographical process at the Centre d'Exposition des Gouverneurs de Sorel. In September 1993, as part of the Mois de la photo à Montréal, she exhibited her photographic sculptures at the Musée de Lachine. Acknowledgements: Canada Council for the Arts, Explorations Program.
