Minus 30, by Angela Boehm – Ewa Monika Zebrowski

The Photobook
Authors: Ewa Monika Zebrowski | Artists: Angela Boehm

An all-white horizon, evoking the idea of a harsh, majestic Canadian winter, has been captured from a thousand angles by Angela Boehm’s lens. Surprising and audacious, Minus 30 brings together a collection of images from her native Saskatchewan, a landscape she has traversed almost like a process of mourning. Ewa Monika Zebrowski reviews it here.

The Photobook
Authors: Fanny Bieth | Artists: Fatine-Violette Sabiri

J’ai pensé à toi, une collection d’oiseaux, by Mélissa Longpré – Marie Perrault

The Photobook
Authors: Marie Perrault | Artists: Mélissa Longpré

An accumulation of bird bodies, carcasses and feathers – victims of predators (or windows) – led Mélissa Longpré to develop a photographic project tinged with tenderness. Our contributor Marie Perrault discusses it here.

Hua Jin, A Photo Was Taken for the Sake of Not Looking

Artists' Projects
Artists: Hua Jin

[April 24, 2024] By Hua Jin. This photo was taken in 2005, almost twenty years ago. Usually when looking at a picture I have taken, I am able to recall the specific moment when I clicked the shutter on my camera and what triggered me for that shot. A photograph can act as a time machine, taking me back to that split second…

[March 27, 2024] By Michel Campeau. I was in late adolescence just a few years before the advent of the Groupe d’action photographique, the Groupe de photographes populaires, Groupe Photocell, the Collectif de l’imagerie populaire de Disraeli, and Camille Maheux and her friends in Plessisgraff – before our paths crossed and I also met Gabor Szilasi, Pierre Gaudard, Sam Tata, John Max, and others…

Goose Village, by Marisa Portolese – Michel Hardy-Vallée

The Photobook
Authors: Michel Hardy-Vallée | Artists: Marisa Portolese

[March 13, 2024] By Michel Hardy-Vallée. When you land in a new city, or a new neighbourhood, asking for directions may sometimes garner pearls like this one: “Turn left after the old Perrette corner store, the one they tore down.” The memory of places is much more deeply grounded than are buildings, whose existence obeys the rationale of capitalism more than that of residents’ lives.

Authors: Siobhan Angus | Artists: Luigino Palu

[February 7, 2024] By Shiobhan Angus. Recently shown in Toronto,¹ Louie Palu’s Cage Call (1991–2003) is a kaleidoscopic portrait of life in the mining communities of northern Ontario and northern Quebec’s: work underground, union organizing and strikes, community events, illness and accidents, and funerals. Over twelve years, Palu visited eighteen gold and silver mines in one of the world’s most productive hard-rock mining regions…

Les Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles – Alain Depocas

Biennials & Co.

[December 21, 2023] By Alain Depocas. Year after year, the always-stunning Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles offers a heterogeneous program without any significant thematic grouping. Nevertheless, certain exhibitions stand out. In 2023, this was the case for Ne m’oublie pas, a presentation of images from Jean-Marie Donat’s collection,1 and Entre nos murs – Téhéran, Iran 1956–2014, composed of photographs found in an abandoned house…

[December 20, 2023] By Louis Perreault. Books are finishing points. As a form, they seem to say, here is what has been achieved, all paths lead here, and all equivocations end here. Yet, how long they will last – their life expectancy – is impossible to predict…

[December 13, 2023] By Louis Perreault. “Nína, who was leaving the local grocery store at that moment, experienced the sound of the landslide as ‘visceral,’ like a primal moan emanating from the earth.” It was late December 2020 and raining prodigiously in Seyðisfjörður, a small port town perched near the lip of a fjord in eastern Iceland…

The Photobook
Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Ewa Monika Zebrowski

[December 5, 2023] By Louis Perreault. We can almost hear the murmur of the countryside filtering in through half-open windows. We imagine this soundtrack crescendoing by a few decibels within these walls, a gentle reverberation mixed with the sound of Alessandro Twombly’s footsteps as he guides the artist Ewa Monika Zebrowski through the house of his late father, the celebrated painter, sculptor, and photographer Cy Twombly…

Upstreams Deadfalls, collective work, and La nuit est un poème, by the collective Hors d’état – Louis Perreault

The Photobook
Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Hors d’état, Peter Dubinski

[December 5, 2023] By Louis Perreault The history of the photobook has been built around the figures of the artist and the publisher, both essential to the medium.

Seasons of Separation, by Kate Hutchinson – Louis Perreault

Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Kate Hutchinson

[November 29, 2023] By Louis Perreault. Interior, day: an apartment with wide mouldings and timeworn hardwood floors. On the table in the dining room, diffuse light falls on all sorts of objects. A plant sits beside a child’s toy, a large vase filled with water, a bouquet of flowers, and an antique clock…

Dundee, by Hua Jin – Louis Perreault

The Photobook
Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Hua Jin

[November 29, 2023] By Louis Perreault. The cover of Hua Jin’s book Dundee immediately reveals the ambiguity of what is contained within. A simple made-up definition of the title word, printed in white on the cream-coloured cloth, hints at the poetry infusing the book’s pages: “A place that could be in Scotland or here or elsewhere. The image that we make of where we come from and where we end up.”…

Three photobooks

The Photobook

[November 9, 2023] In recent months, three important photobooks have landed in our inbox, and we have chosen to present them together as evidence of the richness and diversity of photographic publishing.

Une poignée d’étoiles, by Bertrand Carrière – Louis Perreault

The Photobook
Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Bertrand Carrière

[November 9, 2023] By Louis Perreault. Photographers extract from reality fragments of space-time that they see as meaningful. From these shots are then decanted the images with the greatest potential for building a series or sequence. Thus, photographers follow a principle of subtraction: from a larger grouping they patiently distill the essence of the artwork to come. As they conduct this pruning process, their artistic sensibilities are activated, their vision is clarified, their language is defined…

[November 9, 2023] By Pierre Dessureault. Although Jacques Payette’s paintings are well known, his photographs were relatively under wraps until the Musée d’art de Joliette, with the support of the Fondation Pierre Lassonde, published an impressive four-book set by John R. Porter…

[October 18, 2023] By Sophie Mangado During her first trip to Roxham Road, in 2018, Toronto photographer Ruth Kaplan knew she was facing a complex reality that stretched beyond the few metres of the crossing from the United States to Canada. The conjuncture of forces at work was the first thing she noticed. She addressed […]

MOMENTA – Jean Gagnon

Biennials & Co.
Authors: Jean Gagnon

[October 4, 2023] By Jean Gagnon. Masquerades: Drawn to Metamorphosis is the title of the 18th edition of MOMENTA Biennale de l’image – a title full of promise, as the notion evokes the possibility of many carnivals. Masquerade is a device used in the visual arts, photography, film, theatre, and dance. There was once a pseudoscience, physiognomy, that sought to discern human character types by associating them with the features of animal faces, thus bringing the invisible into visibility…

From “Blaue Horse” Till Now Days 1965–2022, by Boris Mikhailov – Érika Nimis

The Photobook
Authors: Erika Nimis | Artists: Boris Mikhailov

[August 30, 2023] By Érika Nimis. The tone of this book by the photographer Boris Mikhailov (born in Kharkiv in 1938) is established on the front cover, which looks like a page torn from a notebook, with scribbles, stains, and things crossed out…

It was in Montreal in 2020, during the pandemic lockdown and the even stricter conditions of the ensuing curfew, that photographer Sarka Vancurova started her series Street Portraits of Young Couples. Her gelatin silver photographs present young couples in search of physical and social connection during a time of generalized forced isolation…

Object Lesson: On the Influence of Richard Benson – Michel Hardy-Vallée

The Photobook
Authors: Michel Hardy-Vallée | Artists: Richard Benson

[August 9, 2023] By Michel Hardy-Vallée. One reason we have so many interesting photobooks to review is because the printing industry produces them. Photographers used to be cast aside as mere operators until various changes in attitude by the press, the general public, the art world, education, and even the legal world reinforced and consolidated their role as agents endowed with volition and skill.

Frequency, by Cristian Ordóñez – Louis Perreault

The Photobook
Authors: Louis Perreault | Artists: Cristian Ordóñez

[June 22, 2023] By Louis Perreault. Frequency opens, paradoxically, on an image of a closed door, blocked with weathered plywood and fixed in an indefinable temporality. As it does in the photographs that will follow, the diffuse light drops a blanket of silence, pausing the tenacious urban soundtrack…

Authors: Baptiste Grison

[May 31, 2023] By Baptiste Grison. Anyone who has been a regular visitor to the springtime PHOS Photo + art festival in Matane over the years will have noted the characteristics that have become its trademark: a program that’s plentiful and wide-ranging (both physically throughout the town and in content), taking risks and liberties, and a generous showcase for photography students from the local college, who get an opportunity to show their work publicly for the first time…

Carcasse, by Normand Rajotte – Sophie Bertrand

The Photobook
Authors: Sophie Bertrand | Artists: Normand Rajotte

[March 21, 2023] By Sophie Bertrand. A few weeks ago, during a Sunday stroll in a park in the Lanaudière region, my eye was drawn to a large lump lying not far from the path I was on. The animal’s corpse, just a few metres away, literally blended in with the winter landscape, like a rock, between the entangled trunks and trees humbly withstanding the passage of the seasons…

[December 14, 2022] By Érika Nimis.

[November 29, 2022] By Cheryl Simon.

[November 29, 2022] By Michel Hardy-Vallée. So, let’s review: Valerie Solanas wrote the radical feminist SCUM Manifesto (SCUM stands for Society for Cutting Up Men) in 1967 to protest how men were leading the world (to failure) and then shot Andy Warhol in 1968 because he was controlling her life and had, in her view, plagiarized a play that she had written…

[October 26, 2022] By Ray Cronin. The portrait-photograph, Roland Barthes wrote, is a “closed field,” the intersection of four forces or “image-repertoires”: “The [person] I think I am, the one I want others to think I am, the one the photographer thinks I am, and the one he makes use of to exhibit his art.”…
