The empty space between objects is the subject of Jocelyne Alloucherie’s visual enquiries. Her images reveal the silhouettes of buildings against the grey background of the sky. They take hold of the salient, but subtle, line produced by cutting up the walls of buildings, seen in semi-darkness from a low angle. A sort of architectural sculpture dominates these images, suggesting a new framing and thereby heightening the cutting-up effect visible in them.

Jocelyne Alloucherie lives and works in Montreal. Since 1973, she has had many solo shows and participated in a great number of arts events in Quebec, the rest of Canada, and around the world. Her work has recently been shown at the Miller-Gleisher Gallery in New York, at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo, and at the third Biennale internationale de la photographie et des arts visuels de Liège. Her work is found in major Canadian and European public collections. She was recently awarded the Prix du Québec and the Governor General’s Award.
