THE EXHIBITION

Light reflects on polished glass like the mind reflects on itself. Where duality and non-duality join in the flatness, images emerge for the eyes and mind. Three photographic reflections.

Éric Bolduc
Éric Bolduc was born in Saint-Georges de Beauce; he lives and works in Montreal.

A simple mirror. A place rediscovered, revisited. The constructed image of the Arab, the Egyptian, the pharaoh.
The emperor or the performer, the snake charmer. The myth of the stranger, the gipsy, the fakir, the Sufi, the mystic, the unknown, the irrational.
The search for the alter-ego, the double, the shadow, the other. The impossibility of the natural man.

Myriam Gaumond
Myriam Gaumond is from Montreal. She has a photography diploma from the Cégep du Vieux-Montréal.

Landscape fixed in space and light, taken through a reflexion, a reality and a trajectory. To let one-self be transported by what images evoke, this hazard that runs on the windows of a bus, this waiting to be back home.
The atmosphere being the image's main subject. Looking away and being lost in oblivion, the focus getting fixed on the landscape.
A photogenic sensibility borrowing from cinema. A study of the "indirect effects of light on the real world".

M'hammed Kilito
M'hammed Kilito is originally from Morocco and studied photography at the Ottawa School of Art.

The function of art, of photography, is not to reproduce nature but instead to imitate it with authenticity. Starting with the tangible space, I allow myself to imitate it, to create it, to reverb it and to scramble it according to my imagination and whims.
These photographs will not take account of the world as we perceive it or that we take for granted, but will serve instead as a delusion which will seize us in a gentle illusion.
