De l'horizontal au vertical (From Horizontal to Vertical), Karsh-Masson Gallery, Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) 2017.
For the exhibition De l'horizontal au vertical, I took over the Karsh-Masson Gallery with an immersive vision aimed at converting the architectural space into a completely re-imagined environment. Serving simultaneously as the process and the outcome of a visceral mapping of the venue, the reconfigured gallery acts as a mirror for my own practice. I reveal myself through my distinctive occupation of space, site-specific installation techniques, and iconoclastic manipulation of common objects. These structures and everyday materials function as complex markers of my creative universe. While my in situ approach provides a privileged proximity to my thought process, implying a deeper fidelity to reality, this three-dimensional landscape remains deeply layered with my own artistic subjectivity. Through this work, I sought to disrupt traditional spatial reference points, shifting the horizontal planes of the exhibition into a dizzying vertical framework that challenges our own geographical and personal boundaries.
