Toward the other shore
Video and Performance (15 minutes)
Moving to Saskatoon as an adult allowed the
artist to gain a better awareness of the geopolitical, historical
and cultural phenomena which are specific to Western Canadian cities.
Her video and performance Vers l’autre rive (toward the other
shore) draw attention to the symbolism of the bridge, interpreted
here as a link between the past and the future, the link between
two parallel cultures, and between individual and collective notions
of cultural identity. Her performance is based on fortuitous meetings
with the public – sentences said and/or written as well as
photos of various actions and movements – threads that allow
the community to recognize itself.
