As part of the dv_vd evenings, Vidéographe and Dazibao are pleased to present a series of video works by Rachel Echenberg curated by Denis Vaillancourt.
Stillness is also movement. It leaves a trace between its point of departure and that of its arrival, like an imprint that tells the story of its own movement. It has a meaning, a weight, a dimension, and a frame, such as the video image in which it moves. As for the performance, it occupies the space that the spectator is willing to give to it. In the same way, Rachel Echenberg's performances are defined by a frame that outlines the space occupied in which the bodies express themselves and reveal snippets of experience.
Like an abstract painting, the immensity of perceptions is hidden within this frame.

The screening will also be an opportunity to meet visual artist Rachel Echenberg who will talk about her creative process.
