Balconies combines the front and back horizon views from my house in Montreal. In this work I wanted to map my surroundings as a type of archival analogue representation. Whereby, the walls of my home metaphorically defined my presence, while respectively the back balcony horizon outlined my past and the front balcony my future.
I am curious as to what can happen or what is left behind when an item or an object is removed from an archive. The front and back balcony views surrounding my home, and represented as a metaphorical map of an archive, can not necessarily be removed, however, that does not mistake the view's potential to change.
What stands in the empty space of the object or image removed from the archive?
Can I stand in that empty space?
Balconies is an attempt to do just that—stand in the empty space and observe what the removed object was surrounded by. What I found were parenthesis, or the north and south vistas of my home.
