Audiovisual Installation | Collaboration with Rosalie D. Gagné | 2011
“The installation draws inspiration from the memory of a place with an industrial past and reflects the profound transformation experienced by the Centre-Sud neighborhood over recent decades.”
The Mémento soundscape is based on a testimonial letter from L., a former textile industry worker in the Centre-Sud neighborhood of Montreal. The video sequence was created using photographs of the abandoned Manhattan Children’s Wear factory on Parthenais Street, which has since been converted into a housing cooperative.
