Alexandre Larose

Biography

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.
