Alexandre Larose – Portraits II
Portraits emerges from a collaboration between filmmaker Alexandre Larose and curator Nicole Gingras. This selection, divided into three programs, explores fifteen years of an artist's practice, celebrated and recognized for his unique research on moving images, his vision, and the material quality of his works. Portraits complements the exhibition Alexandre Larose – Chutes, presented at VOX, Centre de l’image contemporaine, from September 5 to December 7, 2024, adding to this significant focus curated by Nicole Gingras. The artist and curator would like to thank the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec for its support.
