Description

Horizon Shift presents a colour photograph taken by the artist of a field and sky near L’Islet, Québec. The landscape was broken into small parts and printed on handmade papers which were then folded and assembled like a patchwork quilt to re-create the overall image. Two superposed texts run along the horizon line. One is in a pixilated font in English and reads: “words are in the ground and sea, they are in the air—they are in you”, from a poem by Walt Whitman. The other is in French, written in a cursive font: “quand on marche l’horizon se balance, respire en quelque sorte” (when we walk, the horizon moves, as if breathing), from the writings of Jean Paul Lemieux.
