Il restera toujours quelques nuages à pelleter is a video, sound, and kinetic installation that brings together artisanal devices to animate an arsenal of shovels, brooms, mittens, and windshield washer. Decontextualized, these objects become the agents of a theater where the winter struggle transforms into a frenetic and clumsy choreography.
Salt, usually intended to melt ice, accumulates like snow flakes. Torn from their structure and subjected to repetitive movements, the materials slowly disintegrate into powder. Resistance gives way to surrender and hostility to play. The installation humorously explores the tension between order and chaos, sketching out a poetic attempt at reconciliation with winter.
Pascale LeBlanc Lavigne creates imprecise kinetic installations that test their own structure in order to generate poetic, fragile and transitional forms. Her artworks has been presented in Quebec, Chile, Morocco and Europe. She holds a master's degree in Visual and Media Arts from Université Laval.
