Currently at Visual Voice Art Gallery runs an exhibition of photographs by local artist Myriam Gaumond titled Qu’est-ce que tu regardes?
Gaumond revisits the field of portraiture and adds her own twist: all of her subjects are photographed from the back. We see only the back of the person’s head and the shoulders. Who the person is remains an enigma, we can only draw clues from their stance, their clothes, their hair. As though we’re standing in a queue at the supermarket or attending a rock concert, Gaumond’s images create a feeing of participation – as we share the subject’s gaze, we become part of the image.
