TEROFORÊT is a multidisciplinary work that combines visual arts and performance art, whose subject is our natural heritage (the Laurentian forest) as well as art and humans. TEROFORÊT, the film, is a rendering of this work through the eyes of the filmmaker. The installation comes to life when a lumberjack, carrying a chainsaw, enters it, putting into it his energy and experience. At first, it appears as if he modifies the forest by his presence, but he too is modified, transformed by his incursion into the work. With the power of editing, the performance, filmed in real time, is remodelled according to what the filmmaker felt and experienced during its execution. The transformation takes place on multiple levels.
