Les Absences de la photographie/The Absence of Photography

by Nicole Gingras and Claude Forget

Montréal: Cinéma Libre, 1994

ISBN 2-98018778-1-x

This international exhibition explores the curator's interest in relationships of photographic images and their transitory natures through film and video. As Nicole Gingras states, "We can talk about the transitional effects between film, photography and video. We notice how diverse the experiences put into images can be." (Quote taken from page 4 of the catalogue.) As such this exhibition thematically explores the body, place and identity through various manifestations presented by film and video artists. Some Canadian artists included are Mario Cote, Lisa Steele, Cathy Sisler, Joyce Wieland and the Women Video Workshop.
