LA RÉSILIENCE DES VÉGÉTAUX
Sculpture and multi-disciplinary work that highlights the struggle of plants in a denatured environment, where life and death meet.
Émilie B. Côté is a multidisciplinary artist from Témiscamingue who works mainly in sculpture and two-dimensional organic works. Her exhibition La résilience des végétaux was born of a desire to highlight the struggle of plants in a denatured environment. Pieces of plaster and concrete inhabited by plants trying to survive are the starting point for her reflection, where life and death meet in an assembly of contradictory materials, giving way to a scene of beauty and ruin. Some of the staged pieces in this poetic installation include bones and concrete invaded by poly-pores, and deer that seem to be in search of a better life, adding a narrative aspect to the scene where the viewer becomes a witness.
