Synopsis
Eleven minutes of video performance depict the artist's isolation during Quebec's COVID-19 lockdown, layering acetone over a nature negative.
Synopsis
A single frame of a negative, illuminated by a lightbox, opens "Disconnect." The negative, captured in the mountains, reflects a time when Quebec's National and Provincial Parks were closed due to COVID-19 lockdowns. The artist, whose work focuses on nature and the environment, layers squares of clear acetone over the negative, symbolizing the passage of time and a growing disconnection from the natural world. The image becomes increasingly obscured, mirroring the artist's loss of inspiration during quarantine.
