Contre-Espace 2022

Commissioned by The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts

Directed by Sabrina Ratté

Contre-espace evokes horizons that transcend architecture to create contrast and tension between city walls and the poetic space they can inspire. The facade of the Museum's oldest pavilion becomes a canvas on which a landscape made of electronic and digital light is drawn. The image – or the mirage – takes shape on the wall, opening up the field of possibilities. It is the encounter between stone and light, between surface and depth, between the physical world and the virtual world.
