La danse dans tous ses états [Dance in all its forms]
2019 (ongoing)

This public outdoor installation brings together images from different photographic bodies of work related to the theme of dance. Commissioned by the Ville-Marie borough (Montréal) and curated by Guy Lafontaine, it forms part of the moulins à images located on rue Parthenais.

Three structures, specifically adapted for large rotating cylinders, present six photographs each from the series ABRAZO (2016), Folk sale (2013), Amalgat (2007), Tanz Party (2002) and Rituel festif (1997). Inspired by Tibetan prayer wheels, the installation allows passers-by scroll through the images.
