Fonderie Darling, 745 Ottawa
Mixed media installation from May 28th to 31st
Une présentation de Pavillion Project grâce à la collaboration de la Fonderie Darling. Le vernissage est sponsorisé par l’Ambassade Suisse à Montréal
The focus of the mixed-media installation lies on the impact of the environment on a person and vice versa. Both the visitors to the installation and the protagonists within the work itself are exploring and navigating the unknown. The interest lies in how individuals react to a given space organization which transforms to an open stage and encourages action. In that way the viewers and the dancers in the video first are an object of an operation and once they start to react to the given situation they become a subject of an action. The transformation reveals personal modes of perception and reception to both the protagonists in the video and the visitors to the installation.
Florine Leoni est l’artiste suisse en résidence à la Fonderie Darling dans le cadre de l‘échange entre les villes de Montréal et de Bâle, organisé et soutenu par le Conseil des arts du Québec.
