Strates

A creation by Audrey Sambeau

Discover “Strates,” a new temporary visual art exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Audrey Sambeau.

“Strates,” an exhibition whose works echo the underground dimension of Pointe-du-Buisson.

Strates is a series of ten works on paper, from which enlargements and digital prints were created to adapt them to an outdoor exhibition setting. Composed of superimposed layers of paper, the works echo the underground dimension of the Pointe-du-Buisson site—a dimension we cannot see, yet one that bears witness to millennia of history; with “strates” referring to the successive layers that accumulate in the ground. Each work incorporates handmade paper that includes a different type of residual material, remnants of the contemporary traces we leave behind. Audrey Sambeau holds a DESS in event design from the UQÀM School of Design. She has created various temporary and permanent public installations in the Montérégie region and in Montreal. In her multidisciplinary projects, she explores how the landscape shapes people and helps form their identity and worldview.
