Isabelle Hayeur is known for the rigour and consistency of a body of work conceived around social and political issues related to the environment. Her commitment to the environment and its ominous fate is tenacious and unfailing. The exhibition (D)énoncer, being presented in three regions of Québec, traces the travels and investigations of a photographer and video maker in action, constantly on the lookout for upheavals in our ecosystems, which she transposes into images and words. A large proportion of the exhibition is allotted to her recent output, including previously unseen work. This work is paired with her earliest photographs of excavations and with her involvement with citizens’ and activist groups. Her work conveys the damage our planet is suffering and accords in a gripping manner to say the least with the current public health crisis.

A 360-page monograph, examining Isabelle Hayeur’s entire career, will be published to mark the occasion. It will include texts by Mona Hakim, Peggy Gale, Ann Thomas and Isabelle Hayeur.
An interactive digital platform available at these three venues lets visitors penetrate the creative process of this socially involved artist and to reflect with her on the way in which we inhabit the world.
