This video installation
has for subject the Chaudières falls on the Ottawa River. The
beauty of the site drew people to the falls as they were the subject
of much comment and paintings in the days before the establishment of
E.B. Eddy (a lumber company). Through a modernist, grid-like representation
of the subject, the installation attempts to convey 18th and 19th century
notions of the picturesque and the sublime commonly associated with
landscape painting. The work attempts to put into play industrialization
and its associated mode of representation.
