Through the multiple possibilities offered by a multidisciplinary practice, Carolyne Scenna experiments the ability of material to impregnate and transform itself, moving from one state to another, while transferring in remnants of its previous condition.
During her residency, Carolyne Scenna intends to develop and direct a series of short stop-motion films, composed of hybrid animation sequences in a style intended to provoke a certain hypnotic pleasure in observing the slow transformations of staged and manipulated objects. Some of these objects come from previous compositions - in this case, modular textile elements from her last exhibition - and others are collected on site, contaminating each other in installations that are as unsettled as they are ephemeral, with the artist documenting the movements of a narrative that is as improbable as it is improvised.
Carolyne Scenna is a Montreal artist who completed her Master's degree in Visual and Media Arts at UQAM. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in art centers and recognized institutions in Quebec and the United States. The artist has completed numerous creation and production residencies in Quebec, including Est-Nord-Est in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli and at the Vermont Studio Center. Recipient of the Résidences Québec Acadie, and on her way to Cap-Pelé's Projet Borgitte and Moncton's Galerie Sans Nom, Carolyne Scenna is in residence for a month in Matapédia.
