Montreal Loveletter
About the series
Montréal Love is my way of celebrating a place I think we sometimes take for granted. Montréal and Québec are imperfect, contradictory, and endlessly complainable, but they are also remarkably open, creative, free, and alive. French sits at the heart of the culture, English lives beside it, and countless other voices keep reshaping what this place can be.
The series turns that pride into images. Neighbourhoods, dépanneurs, balconies, construction cones, local animals, old signs, expressions, architecture, forests, rivers, winter rituals, and everyday absurdities become small emblems of a much bigger feeling.
Behind the humour is gratitude for a corner of the world where individual freedom and collective responsibility can coexist, where culture is protected and reinvented, and where a dense creative city can sit beside enormous open landscapes.
Why I made this
I made this series because I don’t think we celebrate enough how lucky we are to live here.
We are very good at noticing what is broken. I wanted to make work about everything worth protecting, enjoying, and being proud of: the freedom to be yourself, the mix of languages and cultures, the creative energy, the social fabric, the neighbourhood life, the forests and water that seem to go on forever, and the strange character that makes Québec feel like nowhere else.
I keep discovering those things while running through Montréal, moving from one neighbourhood to another, and travelling across Québec. Turning them into images is my way of paying attention, saying thank you, and claiming a simple kind of pride:
This place is ours. It is beautiful. And I am deeply proud to belong to it.
