Text theme:
Text becomes an element that transports the viewer into the world of reading
Artwork theme:
The natural environment of the Mauricie region Note(s):
- Simulating the action of entering into what the artist calls "a path bordered by the world of possibilities", the twelve columns are arranged randomly and gradually reveal their hidden sides as well as a variety of materials, textures and colours.
- This installation suggests that this is a space where people, users of the site, are transported to the heart of a world of possibilities. At once shrine and imaginary forest, the artwork unfolds in space, inviting visitors to wander through the various worlds being expressed.
