MOMENTA | BIENNALE DE L’IMAGE - WHAT DOES THE IMAGE STANDS FOR?

Momenta Biennale de l'image is the new identity for Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal.

For the 2017 edition, MOMENTA | Biennale de l’image will probe the concept of photographic evidence in all its guises. The event will feature works that question the status of the photograph as a recording of the real, and will examine the fantastical and sublimated character of reality. Viewers will be encouraged to take a critical stance toward the testimonial value of lens-based images, be they still or moving. Their images speak of the world in different ways, but they systematically sidestep the real.

VOX, centre de l’image contemporaine and Galerie de l’UQAM form the headquarters of this 15th edition, presenting a group exhibition comprised of woks by 23 artists.

Guest curator: Ami Barak.
