Brouillard Passage no.14, 2013, 10 minutes

In Larose’s ongoing series ‘brouillard’, the Canadian landscape is captured in an extraordinary way. In this particular film, a path that extends from my family’s backyard into Lac-Saint-Charles (Québec City), condensed in multiple layers. Here, the moving-image practice investigates phenomena of appearance and representation as translated by the media of optics and celluloid. The approach relies on a methodical stripping out of layers embedded in both the live subjects and the technique that translates them into visual artifacts.

An artist of the moving image, Alexandre Larose is interested in the representation of space and the figure, and the way in which the specific nature of the cinematographic medium sets them in motion.
