L’exposition Views From Above d’Emmanuelle Duret dans CBC Arts

9 Déc 2022

La semaine dernière dans CBC Arts, Didier Morelli consacrait un article au travail de l’artiste Emmanuelle Duret et son exposition Views from Above présentée à la Galerie de l’UQAM jusqu’au 21 janvier 2023.

« Playing with proximity and distance, the artist aptly draws on the photographic archives of concentration camps. The juxtaposition reminds us that we owe many of the horrifying, historical images to the lens of Allied soldiers liberating camps or the flight of aerial photo-analysts working for intelligence services. This is echoed in the exhibition title, Views from Above, evoking the many perspectives of barrack #5 Duret builds upon. It gestures to a shift in our way of looking at things, a tilting of the prism to see a particular place, situation, or historical event anew. »
