“Once the language and bond of eye contact is established, it should be cherished. Savour the knowing looks, the love and understanding that exists without a single word, and the intimacy built on nothing but glances and stares.” 

 

ELLEPHANT is proud to present The Look: Evergon, Emmanuelle Léonard and JJ Levine, three generations of important photographers based in Montreal. The exhibition marks the first time these three artists have been presented together. What unites the photographs selected for The Look is the subjects in each photograph stare directly at the viewer with a confrontational gaze.

‘Ascension’ is the idea of uplifting/evolving the human consciousness through devotion to nature and the protection of it.

 

The exhibit documents protected areas around the world for the viewer to lose themselves for a moment within the lightbox portals supported by the sound of string/piano themed melodies, within the confines of the architectural space of the gallery.

Using photogrammetry, digital print, video and 3D animation Sabrina Ratté imagines and creates digital environments that materialize potential futures questioning the relationship between technology and the environment. In these speculative futures, the boundary between the real and the virtual is constantly put into question through various artworks where light, iridescence and play of reflections become the link between these two realms.
