Marc Audette

Audette is a multimedia visual artist working mainly with video and photography. Recurring themes in his work include nature, light, the human figure, and narrative. Audette’s work pushes the limits of a given reality through compositions that leave space for the imagination. Together, Audette’s medium and subject matter create a dichotomy between what each viewer sees, and the subjective narratives that are produced.

Audette’s series, La Ligne, depicts forests from across Canada with varying climates, flora, and fauna, lit up by a custom lighting installation that Audette carries with him into the landscape. The images have a mysterious feeling and paired with the occasional presence of a spectral human being, transforms each work into an intimate narrative between the subject and the setting, and the viewer and their own relationship to nature.
