Robert Morin : cinéaste et photographe
Filmmaker Robert Morin has also been making photographs since the 1970s. Here they are gathered, projected and hung, showing the evolution of his approaches, from humanistic photography in his early days to current experiments, marked by the uninterrupted flow of images. As a counterpoint, an installation version of his most recent film, 7 paysages, whose sharpness of observation constitutes a timely extension of the previous set.
The opening will take place on June 8 at 6 pm.
Robert Morin
Robert Morin is a Quebecois director, screenwriter, actor, and cinematographer. In 1977, he co-founded Coop Vidéo with friends. Morin made a significant impact in 1992 with his crime film Requiem for a Handsome Bastard. He relied on the talents of committed actors like Gildor Roy and Brigitte Paquette to carry out his uncompromising experimental narrative. It is one of the most celebrated films of his filmography. He is also among the founders of PRIM vidéo, initially conceived as a center for accessing filming equipment following the dissolution of the Montreal artist center, Véhicule Art.
