Jasmin Bilodeau, C’est trop beau, je vais le prendre en photo – Nathalie Côté
Ciel variable 132 - TABLEAUX | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Nathalie Côté | Artists: Jasmin Bilodeau
A reflection on obsolescence and dematerialization, this exhibition contained only four photographs, yet each was monumental in scale and the result of an extensive process involving two stages of image capture and the use of maquettes. Depicting the seasons through four abandoned buildings, the series occupies a space between documentary and fiction, imbued with the trompe-l’œil sensibility that has long characterized BGL, the collective of which Jasmin Bilodeau was once a member. For Nathalie Côté, the artist thus reaffirms his affinity for a mode of working that is “physical, almost sculptural,” grounded in manipulation and hands-on making.

Ciel variable 127 – SISTERS, FIGHTERS, QUEENS | Exhibition reviews
Authors: Nathalie Côté | Artists: Suzanne Lafont
Far from the herbarium and botanical identification, the images that Suzanne Lafont produces from the wildflowers and weeds that she gathers comprise an exploration of colour and relationships between the visual and the written. Following in the tradition of conceptual art, as Nathalie Côté notes, Lafont manipulates her photographs to obtain surreal results, even as she evokes our connections with nature in a myriad of ways.
