To perceive the space of touch, to inhabit it through sound: this in essence is the experience to which Claire Savoie invites us. Savoie presents a new version of the installation Déjà: a monitor embedded in a wall, showing hands which propose a strange exploration of the gallery space through groping and creeping movements. A soundtrack heightens our relationship to this place and highlights its relief. Savoie's method is intentionally discreet in order to draw our attention to the way we experience the space.

Claire Savoie has exhibited her work in various Canadian cities and on a few occasions in Europe, in particular at the international exhibition L'art du monde: tendances critiques 1998, organised by Beaux-Arts magazine at the Passage de Retz in Paris. Her work has also been the subject of many solo shows, in addition to being included in group exhibitions such as Le ludique at the Musée du Québec (2001), Signes vitaux at the Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery (2002), L'autre en soi at the Musée régional de Rimouski (1999), and skol@xyz at YYZ Artists' Outlet in Toronto. Claire Savoie won the Graff prize in 2002
