En places et lieux

Lucie Rocher collects a variety of photographic subjects and transforms the various materials or artifacts of her art practice so as to place them in dialogue with their immediate environment. She explores and interprets her personal archives, confronting them with the history of photography and its diverse materialities.

In this exhibition, the artist is interested in the processes involved in making the photographic image as well as in the time and spaces needed to develop it, from the photo printing lab, the darkroom, the studio, and the art centre. Rocher evokes her ways of inhabiting and adapting to the temporary or permanent terrains that define the memory of her practice.

En places et lieux assembles a series of apparatuses that exist between sculpture and photography and that attempt to construct formal and colourful connections by playing with natural and industrial materials, as well as with the photographic image. The exhibition focuses on how we relate to architecture, construction, and environment, and on the types of resources-materials we use to build our living spaces.
