Gwenaël Bélanger at UQAM’s Visual Arts Gallery
Mirrors that move. An image that constantly mutates. A pixellisation of space. All these concepts are combined in the installation Poursuivre le hors-champ [Continuing off-field] from Gwenaël Bélanger at UQAM’s Visual Arts Gallery.
The artist/handyman plays on the idea of perception. With this multi-mirrored installation, he completely destroys the notion of geometrical perspective. Each square offers an unique point of vue, hence breaking the conventions. One only has to sit a couple of minutes in front of the art work to be hypnotized. Like the artist says, this process « can show what is in the dead angles ».
It is possible to pay a visit to the installation until March 29th, 2008, at UQAM’s Visual Arts Gallery in Montreal. There is no admission fee. Further details can be found on the site of the Gallery.
Gwenaël Bélanger owns the copyright of this work. The picture was taken by Guy L’Heureux.
