Exhibition "HYDRO" by Ludovic Boney and Caroline Monnet at Ahkwayaonhkeh
Complexe Méduse
At the end of the tangle of their wires, 180 light bulbs welcome us with their soft glow in the gallery. Beneath them, a large mirror reflects the light they emit, multiplying the energy that nourishes them. As we observe them, we notice over time that their intensity increases, then decreases. This variation follows a recording. It is that of a speech given in 1992 by the great chief of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee), Matthew Coon Come, opposing the Grande-Baleine hydroelectric project in Northern Quebec. HYDRO speaks of our relationship with hydroelectricity; of what it brings us and what it has taken from Indigenous communities. This site uses cookies to improve your browsing experience.
