Alexandre Larose

略歴

Alexandre Larose is a French-Canadian artist based in Montreal. While completing a bachelor in mechanical engineering in 2001, Larose became interested in cinematography as a tool to re-configure temporal experiences. His moving-image practice investigates phenomena of appearance and representation as translated by the media of optics and celluloid. His approach relies on a methodical stripping out of layers embedded in both the live subjects and the technique that translates them into visual artifacts. His work has screened internationally since 2006.

参加作品

I. / II. / III.
Director
Originally shown as three separate films, I. / II. / III. is a triptych portrait of the most intimate proportions. Simple scenes within the domicile become completely entrancing as layer after layer of exposure unfurls onto itself. The movement of the leaves, the light, his father: all become hypnotic in this silent sonata.
III.
Director
Third part of a series, in which the figure in the frame is Larose’s father, Jacques Larose. It was shot in Super-8mm and 16mm—later enlarged to 35mm—and alternates between colour and black and white.

“With this project I fabricate sequences by in-camera layering of repeated trajectories inside a path extending from my family’s home into Lac Saint-Charles. The image-capturing process produces a sedimented landscape that gradually unfolds while simultaneously disintegrating under temporal displacement. Approximately 30 long takes begin at the same frame on the film strip, all shot at a high frame rate. My walking rhythm varies for each trajectory, resulting in the space progressively expanding in depth until I reach the edge of a dock. The duration of the long take corresponds to the length of the celluloid reel, a thousand feet of 35mm film.”—Alexandre Larose

Fenêtres
Director
"In this film, I wanted to explore the potential of in-camera editing by photographing and juxtaposing the window frame and its outside landscape as visual references. I executed three attempts (using three rolls of 16mm film) and aligned them one after the other. I wanted to show the raw material exactly as captured inside the camera." ⁠— Alexandre Larose

II.
Director
This series of three works is part of the “household scenes” project, a corpus in development. It is a set of vignettes, cinematographic tableaux, built around the repeated gestures of my parents’ daily life. I present these scenes sometimes as sequence shots, sometimes as a succession of cut-out shots. Some depict only one parent, with particular emphasis on how he/she negotiates domestic space. With these paintings, imagined in various environments and by a treatment specific to the medium, I work to reveal the singularity of the places, the movement of the figures and the relationship between the two.
