PROJECTIONS MURALES

From Wednesday August 7th to Sunday August 12th
9:00 pm to 11:00 pm, alternately, every night.

A multimedia mural was specially designed for the 2014 edition by the AM Collective composed of the Anishinabe artist Caroline Monnet and the Cree artist Sébastien Aubin. The geometric frames and bright colors are drawn from the rich visual heritage of the Native American imaginary.

In 2017, the two artists signed a new work freely inspired by the myth of the Enemy Twins.

A sequence signed by Michel Poulin (Aludel) is a tribute to Mother Earth as seen by Indigenous People. The video evokes the birth of the world, the first spark of life, the crossing of the Missinak Turtle, to us. A representation closing the loop between tradition and modernity, between the roots (the tradition, the memory) of the tree (the human community), and the summit of its branches sloping towards the future.

With a series of hand-made black-and-white animations, the AM Collective (Sébastien Aubin, Caroline Monnet) seeks to illustrate the traditional Anishinaabe story of the two enemy brothers who created our natural landscape. Abstract lines, contemporary images and robust typography make up a visual experience that communicates the closeness of two opposing entities that are linked beyond their differences. By creating a subtle experience of attraction and opposition, oscillating between light and dark, interspersed with moments of stillness, AM leaves the viewer in a position of ambivalence where he must accept that one cannot exist without its opposite.
