Yann Pocreau The lapse in between
This new body of work by Montreal-based artist Yann Pocreau brings together a range of images chosen for their evocative nature, and intervened upon by the artist. Found, vernacular, the original images call for a narrative—more than for a subject—often fragmented, elliptical. In this way, images said to have failed—blurred, with superimposed points of view, marred by time or by the artist—create an ensemble where behind the seeming simplicity of their composition, they emanate complex sensual tensions; interrupted yet almost cinematographic narratives.
