Broadcasted from Montreal on April 22nd to May 4th, Fictions was an immersive virtual exhibition of eight Montreal designers including Atelier Zébulon Perron, Claste Collection, David Umemoto, Lambert & Fils, Loïc Bard, Pascale Girardin, SSSVLL, and Yannick Pouliot. Presented by the Canadian Creators Collective. Curated by Nicolas Bellevance-Lecompte.
“Set in an abandoned, post-apocalyptic-looking building in Montréal, the virtual exhibition offers visitors a surveillance-like experience, with four different camera angles offering a glimpse of the half-shrouded pieces, alongside an eerie accompanying score. Though there was no brief, many of the pieces play with ideas about mutation, isolation, and perception; “familiar in their appearance, these fictions of mutated furniture blur the lines of design and art, and question who the user might be, and what purpose they are meant to inhabit.” In light of the pandemic, some of the themes feel weirdly prescient.”
