JEUX DU NORD
Sandra Lachance lives in Montréal and works in France and Québec. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from UQAM and a postgraduate degree from the Studio national des arts contemporains Le Fresnoy. Her work has been presented in the festival Transphotographiques 2011 (Lille, France), the Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie (Cap-Chat, 2013), the contemporary art event Orange (Sainte-Hyacinthe, 2012), Vertical (offsite project, Laval, 2013) and the Centre d'exposition Lethbridge (Montréal, 2015).
The exhibition Jeux du Nord by Sandra Lachance presents a series of photographs that portrays the daily life and hobbies of young Inuit teens who, on the threshold of adulthood, abandon their toys for new occupations. Mixing fiction and reality, the series bypasses clichés and stereotypes and offers a dreamlike and original point of view. The desert and spectacular landscapes in which the scenes take place show rough and fascinating characteristics of the Far North.
