Estimate
$6 500
The photographic work Sans titre (rue Boudreau), created in 2011, is born of the À contretemps corpus in which the artist reflects upon ­peri-urban space by exploring questions related to temporality and the media of photography and video. More precisely, this work reveals a schematized architectural structure which seeks to dissolve the visible present of its location by transporting us back to its point of origin: the sketch, the working architectural drawing, which vibrantly evokes a certain ­modernist utopia.
