CANDICE BREITZ. LE MOIS DE LA PHOTO À MONTRÉAL

From September 7 to October 20, 2007. Opening on Friday September 7 at 7:30 pm.

Curator: Marie Fraser
 

Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal present an exhibition gathering the works of the artist Candice Breitz around the theme "Replaying Narrative".

In her photography, video, and other artworks Candice Breitz uses popular imagery as a catalyst to expose the absurdity of how we construct meaning through stereotypes. Through humorous and subversive tactics Breitz strikes out at visual and narrative conventions in film and popular culture. To reveal the essence of our fascination with superstars, The Soliloquy Trilogy (2000), a three-screen video projection, juxtaposes clips of Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry and Jack Nicholson in The Witches Of Eastwick. Her video Aiwa to Zen (2003) will also be presented.
