Inspired freely by David Albert-Toth and Emily Gualtieri’s choreographic creation À bout de bras presented this fall at the Agora, this film shot outside shows us a character interpreted in a more intimate way. A man overcome by loneliness and guilt tries to leave everything behind. As he travels through increasingly desolate landscapes, he realizes that he cannot escape from himself. A visceral and stark portrait relieved by occasional bursts of color, humor, and hope.

His audio-visual work has been presented at Usine C, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Tangente, Monument-National & Agora de la Danse… His first alchemical video installation premiered in New York in 2012 at the AC Institute. He presently is finishing a master’s thesis and describes his visual work as a continuous search for the miraculous through the life of the image in the soundscapes of time.
