L'archéologie de l'oubli (2022-)
L'archéologie de l'oubli is a sculptural/architectural video installation that acts as a series of portraits on grief of loss; a grandparent, a friend, and a lover. The work sublates the assumed linearity of time into a contained room, where past, present and future commingle, are stored in cabinets, radiate from windows, float like gossamer off high beams. This installation is slated to be shown at D.D.D.D. (New York) in late 2025. Balustrade has been shown independently in the exhibition The Equivalence of Alloyed Gold at the Critical Distance Centre for Curators (Toronto) in Fall 2022.
Balustrade (2022) considers the destruction of a friendship, communication breakdowns inherent to this sort of failure, and the ways that one can survive and flourish past it, weaving in a confabulated mythology that roots itself in both the sky and the ground, bursting forth from the tension therein.
L'archéologie de l'oubli (2023) is a meditation on the dissolution of a romantic relationship overlaid on footage from a demolition derby which took place in Lachute, Québec. Moments of erasure and impact parallel the text, which begins with a quote by Maurice Blanchot.
Nord royal (2023) is a work dedicated to the author's grandfather, Roland Roy, who passed away in 2018.
Balustrade now is part of the VTape Collection; for more information, please contact Dustin Lawrence at distribution@vtape.org
