‘The Mountain, Les Invisibles’,
Single channel video, Duration 10:28, 2016 –
The work ‘The Mountain, Les Invisibles’ was shot in
the site of the Montreal Biodome. The Biodome originally served as the
Velodrome for the ’76 Olympics and now houses an indoor zoo, where they have
recreated four ecosystems of the Americas. The site lies somewhere between the
real, artificial and the staged. I was interested in the role of the staff who
work in the premises of the Biodome, as they inevitably move between spaces of
reality and fiction. I was interested in the mind of these people who reveal
their relations to the site, by concocting fictions, which emerge between the
architectural space and the potentiality of its narrative.
