Isabelle Hayeur
  Isabelle Hayeur lives and works in Montreal. Since the late 1990s, she has been known for her video production and large-format digital montages. Both appealing and alarming, her works present vast panoramic landscapes that denounce the no-man’s-lands that modern and contemporary civilizations allow to emerge. Her digital images have been presented in solo exhibitions in Quebec and Canada as well as in a number of group exhibitions: Lieux anthropiques, presented by VOX at the Centro Cultural Casa Vallarta, Guadalajara, Mexico, and Tomorrow’s New at the Hippolyte Gallery, Helsinki, Finland, in 2003; Chantiers at Centre des arts actuels Skol, and Plan Large at Quartier éphémère as part of Mois de la Photo à Montréal, in 2001. Her participation in this last event attracted much attention and earned her the Prix Contact for young artists. Selected for showing at international festivals, her videos circulate throughout the world.

As part of this exhibition, VOX is also presenting an in situ project in the window of the new space.
