Photographic artwork produced for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sherbrooke University. Longueuil Campus, 10th floor.
Work produced for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Sherbrooke as part of the 50th anniversary of the first student cohort. Installed at the Longueuil campus of the University of Sherbrooke.
The photographic diptych Transition, ecosystem, recommencement
was conceived from an in situ art perspective, that is to say according to an artistic approach which directly refers to the place in which the work is inscribed. Here, the training rooms serve as a starting point for the work.
In this diptych favoring photomontage, the space is built around curtains, uniforms placed on a table, a two-way mirror – elements easily recognizable by the users of the place. Inside this space construction, a woman in nurse’s uniform, looking out the window or drawing the curtain bring reflection and action. Three archival images on the window sill recall the medical profession.
Juxtaposed with this scene we can see vegetation. Photographed in a botanical garden, these plants echo the cycle of life, fragility, the need for interrelation and symbolically interdisciplinarity, a value specific to the Faculty. Although the nature of the images is documentary, the assembly of the photographs tries to rock the scene if not in fiction at least in the evocation.
