[Spring 1996] by Robert Legendre To look directly at Ruth Kaplan’s photographs, one must go beyond the “at first glance” voyeurism induced by curiosity.

[Spring 1996] by Suzie Larivée The garden is an image of the world San for the mountain. Sui for water. The sand becomes water. The stone becomes a mountain.

[Winter 1995-1996] by Sylvain Campeau Paul Lowry’s work, from Photographs from the Grand Academy of Lagado (1989-90) through Copulation Studies (1993) to Man Figure (1995), has been inspired by various sources. One of the most important is the photographic system of J.H. Lamprey, a British anthropologist who tried to create a comparative visual catalogue of different […]

[Winter 1995-1996] by Robert Legendre For more than ten years, Ginette Bouchard has been exploring, within her artistic photographic research, old techniques such as platinum/palladium proofs.

[Winter 1995-1996] by Robert Legendre Since it was invented, photography has evolved constantly. The portfolio presenting some of Ginette Bouchard’s work published in this issue of CVphoto, as well as Carol Dallaire’s in issue 32, provides me with a pretext to reflect on the orientation toward a new technology. There has been a quiet movement […]

With the rise of modernism, attention was brought to bear on the ability of photography to crystallize fleeting moments. This ambivalent relationship between the literal and the figurative led […]
