Boris Firquet, imagiste extraordinare, founded Quebec City’s improvisational A/V performance group Eltractor in 1997. With the addition of musicians and data processing specialists David Michaud and Fabrice Montal, Eltractor has performed their inimitable brand of techno-based experimental electro-acoustic music to Firquet’s singular imagery throughout eastern Canada and internationally. However, they remain largely unknown west of Toronto. This exhibition focuses on Firquet’s brilliant and dizzying video work. Concerned primarily with the nature of perception and underscored by notions of evolution and entropy, Firquet dissects the human and digital machines, restructuring the “warped” imagery into a delirious and unrelenting information exchange between sound and image. Pirating material from numerous sources and animating anything that is capable of being animated—cataract surgery, architectural renderings, feeding bats, electrical sche-matics—Firquet, creates, destroys and then re-creates the video structure in order to provoke a visceral reaction from his audience, as much as an emotional one.
Boris Firquet’s work has been exhibited in Valparaiso, Tokyo, Berlin, Lisbon and Mexico City, as well as nationally at the Rendez-Vous Du Cinéma Québécois and The Images Festival..
