Nelly-Eve Rajotte
After
a first bachelor’s degree in art history, Nelly-Eve Rajotte went
for a second in visual and media arts at
UQAM, followed by a master’s in 2006. She is currently working
as an editor and art teacher in Montréal. Nelly-Eve
Rajotte’s images in motion bear witness to a research centered
on the concept of duality.
Images are generally split or superimposed before melting again
into another frame. The artist transforms the images she seizes,
reducing them to their formal components, altering them through
the modulation of captured lighting, compressing them at times
into horizontal bands. The image’s architecture is thus somewhat
visible and the juxtaposed soundtrack follows a similar motion.

Deconstruction of the power of the elements of landscape in search of verticality. The sound space is distorted so that it offers a signifier diverted to the image. The sound quotes ”Slow Water” by Brian Eno.
