Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Book Reviews
Authors: Christian Liboiron
[Spring 1994] Susan Sontag, Sur la photographie Paris, Éd. U.G.E., 1993, collection 10-18, 240 pp., $13.75. Translation of On Photography, New-York, Anchor Books, 1977 For a long while, the Francophone reader has had only a very bad translation of the essays presented in On Photography. Today, Philippe Blanchard offers us a translation that is both […]
Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Portfolios
Authors: Janette Platana | Artists: Leonard Schlichting
[Spring 1994] by Janette Platana Schlichting’s Embarkation expresses the rough pleasure of existing in the sensual world, of loving its minute details. This work suggests captivation by close scrutiny, and the images are the result of suspended disbelief, an agreement to shift viewpoint and scale, so that a cobweb can become impenetrable as a cage, […]
Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Portfolios
Authors: Manon Gosselin | Artists: Louis Lussier
[Spring 1994] by Manon Gosselin It swells within, beyond all containing. It revives. The humblest of creations dialogues with nothing but the metamorphoses that it attracts by virtue of its own mystery. Beyond revolt. Beyond reconciliation. ⎯ Jean-Luc Godard, 1987, Soigne ta droite …and in his shadow, never leaving him by so much as an […]
Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Portfolios
Authors: David Hopkins | Artists: Iva Zimova
[Summer 1994] by David Hopkins A weary man leans on the table — worn out from what appears to have been a sleepless night of heavy drinking. We are drawn into the drama. A woman stands in the doorway in the glaring morning light with her hands on her hips. Each of Zimova’s most recent […]

Ciel variable 26 - DOCUMENTARY | Editorial
Authors: Robert Legendre
[Spring 1994] by Robert Legendre Dear Jacques, Dear Luc, In CV Photo‘s recent editorial (No.26), Marcel Blouin discussed the lack of perceptiveness (and lack of open-mindedness and of culture, I might add) of certain journalists, critics, essayists and thinkers in the analyses they make of art — in general, and that which has come to […]
Ciel variable 25 - UNTITLED | Portfolios
Authors: Claire Gravel | Artists: Michel Hébert
[Winter 1993] by Claire Gravel For a quarter of a century has been relentlessly photographing the same set of landscapes, all of whose horizons include the St. Lawrence River. At first glance, it seems that these untamed locales in contrast to the mere simulacrum that is every work of art reaffirm the permanence of the […]
Ciel variable 25 - UNTITLED | Portfolios
Authors: Ken Straiton | Artists: Ken Straiton
[Winter 1993] by Ken Straiton I have always been interested in cities. I love the country, but the city is food for thought and for my eyes. The real subject of cities is what interests all of us the most: human beings. For all the castigation of the city versus nature, the paradox is that […]
Ciel variable 25 - UNTITLED | Portfolios
Authors: Suzie Larivée | Artists: Jean-François Bérubé
[Winter 1993] by Suzie Larivée Portrait: n. m. (Portret, pourtrait, 1175; p.p. of portraire “to draw or represent”)… Jeu du portrait, where a player must guess the name of a person (or a thing) by asking questions to which one responds with only Yes or No. Le Petit Robert, p. 1489 “Portraiture consists of […]
[Winter 1993-1994]
Ciel variable 25 - UNTITLED | Editorial
Authors: Marcel Blouin
[Winter 1993] by Marcel Blouin Art is looking for itself. Does not art look for itself and question itself? Would it be more accurate to say, rather, that art helps to throw light on the human being who is looking for himself? In a time when no one, anywhere, wishes to question things indeed, even […]
Ciel variable 24 - Untitled | Portfolios
Authors: Katy McCormick | Artists: April Hickox
[Fall 1993] by Katy McCormick April Hickox’ visual narratives weave together fact and fancy, dream and memory. The images she selects and orders into sequences, diptychs and polyptychs-some photographed in a direct way, some staged, others “found” ortakenfrom historical sources-evoke a sense of moments lived, memory, passage and transformation. Over the years, Hickox has worked […]
Ciel variable 24 - Untitled | Portfolios
Authors: Denis Lessard | Artists: April Hickox
[Fall 1993] This article was originally published only in French. No translation is available. Summary When the Mind Hears, Part II and the other recent series by April Hickox function by the recurring theme of the juxtaposition of images. These are meta-series, drawing upon all categories of images and brought together in an order/ […]
Ciel variable 24 - Untitled | Portfolios
Authors: Paul Breton | Artists: France Choinière
[Fall 1993] This article was originally published only in French. No translation is available. Summary In her approach, France Choinière uses the photographic image as a means to purloin or to appropriate, as something intermediate linked to the conditions or the tendencies of the interpretation. From one series to the next, the works encourage the […]
Ciel variable 24 - Untitled | Portfolios
Authors: Pierre Dessureault | Artists: Benoit Aquin
[Fall 1993] This article was originally published only in French. No translation is available. Abstract Benoît Aquin’s images are difficult to classify. They assume all the appearances of documentary photography. Like many photographers born during the sixties, he chose to follow this tradition that characterizes the production of an entire decade. These photographers have refused […]
