L'Exposition | The Exhibition


Le paysage est une construction et sa signification découle de celui qui le regarde. Cette exposition photographique élargie associe de nouvelles œuvres d'Annie Briard et de Scott Massey, artistes basés à Vancouver, qui explorent chacun le paysage en tant que forme et en tant que feuille à travers leur objectif.

Chargée de connotations liées aux revendications coloniales du XIXe siècle, à l'expansion et à l'extraction des ressources, la photographie de paysage est devenue un genre vicié. Peut-être qu'un changement réfléchi de notre perspective temporelle fournira une nouvelle perspective relationnelle qui pourrait nous permettre de transmettre un devoir d'attention aux générations futures. Et si nous écoutions la terre sans vouloir la contrôler ? La terre parle lentement, au fil des décennies, des siècles, des époques qui dépassent l'entendement humain. Sa métamorphose est lente et prolongée, chaque période de changement inaugurant un nouvel agencement des formes, des relations, de la croissance et de la décroissance.

Cette exposition, qui présente en avant-première de nouvelles œuvres photographiques élargies, pose la question de savoir pourquoi le paysage devrait avoir de l'importance aujourd'hui, au milieu de tout ce à quoi nous sommes confrontés, et postule l'importance de notre relation continue avec notre environnement.

Landscape is a construct and its meaning is derived from the beholder. This expanded photography exhibition pairs new works by Vancouver-based artists Annie Briard and Scott Massey, each exploring the landscape as form and as foil through their lenses.

Burdened as it is with connotations of nineteenth-century colonial claiming, expansion, and resource extraction, landscape photography has become a tainted genre. Perhaps a considered shift in our temporal perspective will provide a new relational outlook which might allow us to pass a duty of care along to future generations. What if we listened to the land without the urge to control it? The land speaks slowly over decades, centuries – epochs beyond human reckoning. Its metamorphosis is slow and prolonged, each changing period ushering in a new arrangement of form, of relationships, of growth and decay.

Premiering new expanded photography works, this exhibition asks why the landscape should matter now, in the midst of all we face, and posits the importance of our continued relationship with our environment.

Scott Massey

Scott Massey holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design (2003) and is currently pursuing an MFA at University of British Columbia.
