Les séries des Chutes de Gwenaël Bélanger sont à inscrire dans la foulée des études sur la transcription du mouvement qui ont marqué le début du XXe siècle. Chacune des séries exploite une modalité séquentielle pour restituer la trajectoire d’objets du quotidien abandonnés en chute libre.

PORTFOLIO - Louis Joncas, Detritus
The Detritus series is an ongoing investigation of Joncas’s material existence, informed by still-life painting and vanitas. The series depicts the detritus of domestic life and everyday survival. It questions rituals and banal chores – such as cleaning, eating, grooming, and consuming – that leave behind an endless trail of detritus.
