Frédéric Lavoie

Frédéric Lavoie (1976, Montreal) holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology and a master's degree in visual and media arts. Through a heterogeneous practice, which takes documentary or fictional elements as materials, he produces narratives, group portraits or thematic analyses. The archive, whether film, paper or digital, constitutes his main working material. His research revolves around issues related to listening and observation, the relationship between nature and culture, all within a critical approach. His works, whether they are video installations, photographs, drawings or objects, have been presented in galleries, artist-run centers, museums and video events. His major achievements include the feature film La Nature Contre-Attaque (125min, 2019), his exhibition Le début de la fin at the McCord Museum (2014) and a mid-career retrospective at the Musée régional de Rimouski entitled Réécritures (2014).
