I WILL FLOOD YOU WITH MY LIGHT
Video installation and website.
In collaboration with Jonathan Cusson, Zoé Tremblay-Bianco, Étienne La Frenière and Juliette Bernatchez.
I will flood you with my light explores contemporary forms of belief, attention, and the transmission of embodied experience. It follows an influencer who, after a spiritual experience she perceives as profoundly transformative, attempts to share it with her audience. Like the boy who cried wolf, her words carry an inherent doubt, as she has only the language of online self-presentation at her disposal to recount what she has experienced. In attempting to make us feel the effects of an experience that exceeds language, she gradually makes the image disappear into a world of abstraction made of color and light.
The website extends this experience by fragmenting the video and proposing a different temporality.
