Les Palais

Various performance hubs are spread across an area adjacent to the Caserne Saint-Nicolas in the Old Port district of Quebec City. They feature a variety of vehicles, containers, machines, and makeshift shacks, inhabited by seemingly isolated beings, each busy with their own tasks.

The various actions taking place are filmed individually and reassembled into a large-scale projection on the facades of the Caserne Saint-Nicolas, like the rooms of a house seen through its walls. The sound from each hub is also captured and redirected to a listening area. As you wander through, between cacophony and moments of great communion, you realize that each action is actually contributing to the performance of a single musical piece.
