ALL ABOUT
ART

Delirious Québec (Quebec City, Quebec), “Delirious Québec”, 2021
The Delirious Québec collective let its imagination run wild, reproducing and combining elements from various Quebec City buildings notable
for their unique volumetric proportions and strong identity. In a promenade that juxtaposes buildings from hitherto widely separated locations
and time periods, the built heritage is broken down to its formal features through a reversal of perspective, and variations in scale and
geometric abstraction of shapes complicate our perceptions.
Delirious Québec won the PASSAGES INSOLITES competition, organized in collaboration with
Architecture Student Association at Université Laval.
This project is made possible by the Entente de développement culturel, a funding agreement between the
Québec government and the Ville de Québec.

Théâtre Rude Ingénierie
(Quebec City, Quebec),
“Rising Waters”, 2021
A mysterious village
lies in the waters of
Bassin Louise. Where
did it come from? Was
it overrun by rising
waters or purpose-built
in these shallows? A
plume of smoke, a ringing
bell – small signs of life
suggest the village is still
inhabited. Rising Waters
is a serene tableau of
what may be no more
than a becalmed, tide-
swept life.
This artwork includes a
portion of the following
preexisting work: Le
Clocher de la Providence,
a creative production by
ATSA for Fin November
2011.
