Description:

The installation consists of paintings on wooden panels and a metallic structure. The paintings cover the upper part of four of the library's columns. They evoke the elements of nature - water, air, earth and fire - as well as various elements of the Pointe-du-Lac landscape (contours of the banks, flight of migrating birds). Text excerpts were pasted to the transparent strata of different paintings. They refer to a combination of natural elements and fields of knowledge, as chosen by the artist - fire/applied science; water/imagination and fiction; earth/practical knowledge; air/spirituality. A green steel structure is anchored between two columns, representing a cantilever bridge.
