Roserade

video artwork - 2021

Inspired by speculative fiction, ecosophy and digital intimacy, Roserade evokes a relationship between an office space, a rose bush and a female human. Sometimes frenetic and sometimes contemplative, it proposes a world that deforms without ever completely destroying or building itself. In this entropy and constant mise en abyme, the human and nonhuman explore the feeling of being interdependent, in a reality shaped by digital and ecological transformations. It has won the Canadian Electroacoustic Community’s JTTP 4th annual prize and the Micheline Coulombe Saint-Marcoux award in 2021. It was also chosen for NAISA’s festival SOUNDplay Digital in Nature.
