This monograph explores the most recent photographic and installation works by artist Lucie Rocher. It presents two bodies of work designed to respond to each other in separate locations: De part et d’autre (Centre CLARK, Montreal, 2024) and En places et lieux (DRAC Art actuel, Drummondville, 2024) are two exhibitions that were conceived as mirror images of each other. The photographic documentation and texts by three guest authors reveal the imagined echoes between these two spaces and times of creation.
The title of the monograph refers to this idea of a whole consisting of two elements, in this case two exhibitions that are inseparable and complementary, to be read, viewed, and interpreted in relation to each other.
The works presented and photographed in wide shots, or focusing on certain details, will allow readers to identify recurring themes and formally discernible differences. Also included are photographs from previous research, belonging to other exhibitions, as well as archival images produced over the last ten years. These additional elements serve as punctuation marks that reflect the artist's observations on buildings, constructions, and forms that she later translated into her works.
