Sophie presents Me at the zoo, a program that portrays a gluttonous system through six art videos made between 1990 and 2010. Taking as a point of departure the idea that the video clips that proliferate on the internet are a fast-growing product of consumerism mirroring by the uncontrolled flow of capital, the curator is interested in the aesthetic of the ephemeral content that is generated by users every day. The program follows an exponential and metaphorical trajectory, with the medium becoming increasingly abstract, as if the videos consume themselves. 

After the desert is a program created by Samy Benammar as part of Vidéographe's invitation to the Panorama-cinéma team.

With La trilogie des glaciers, Vidéographe is proud to present the work of artists Virginie Laganière and Jean-Maxime Dufresne for the first time on Vithèque. Fragile Monument, Albedo and Après les glaciers are part of a body of work recently acquired by Vidéographe, which we look forward to share with you.

First presented at Cinéma Moderne, this program, assembled by Robert-Forget 2024 award winner Nelson Henricks, highlights the artist's reflections on his own practice, as well as the works that have inspired him.

This online video club is part of Verticale's ongoing program Trajectoire, aménagement et genius loci. The center has invited two artists, Miri Chekhanovich and Marie Samuel Levasseur, to co-host the meetings. The Reading Club and Video Club provide an opportunity to discuss texts and works that are important to each artist's practice. The video program is available for free on Vithèque.

In Jayce Salloum’s video work untitled part 1: everything and nothing, shot during the waning days of the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon, activist and former prisoner Soha Bechara poses a poignant question:

“Distance carries in its essence so many things. Does it merely abide by the measure of kilometres, dictating separation and evoking longing? Does greater distance necessarily yield greater pain, while proximity lessens the ache?”

This tribute is not intended as a retrospective, but rather as an invitation to commemorate Manon and appreciate the vivacity of her work. With this essay, we are pleased to share Nicole Gingras' reflections on the work of Manon. A rich complement to the program curated by Denis Vaillancourt presented in December 2023 and now available on Vithèque.

LES VIDÉOGRAPHES is a program created by Luc Bourdon in collaboration with Karine Boulanger, Denis Vaillancourt and the Vidéographe team.

Composed during the pandemic period, this project responds to the ultimate desire and need to gather in front of the big screen and see the video works of yesterday and today in the presence of the public and artists.

On November 28, 1971, Vidéographe officially opened its doors on rue Saint-Denis, in the heart of the Latin Quarter.

1971-2021... 50 years of history!
