SARAH-JEANNE LANDRY - À PROPOS DE LA PAROLE

From November 13, 2024 to January 18, 2025.

"There are times when my ability to speak vanishes, my throat chokes up, my mind empties, and words become confused. This intrigued me. I thought that there was something there to untangle and explore. So I started recording myself every day in order to consider my relationship to speech."

The exhibition "À propos de la parole" by Sarah-Jeanne Landry caries out an analysis of this self-reflective thinking: a zealous endeavour, bordering on madness, that embraces its own excesses. The exhibition presents the outcome of Landry’s research into the possibilities of documenting micro-performance through words, from an internal and subjective perspective as much as possible, and of giving form to archives through a series of artist’s books.

Artist: Sarah-Jeanne Landry, Graduating Master’s Student in Visual and Media Arts, UQAM
