FiXions requeires the plugins Flash/Shockwave/Quicktime Carnages / Mitsiko Miller, Eva Quintas Carnages is a work which draws its life blood from the imagery and multiple connotations related to anthropophagy and cannibalism. In a resolutely parodic tone, the authors fashioned various short stories which approach negritude, war, the body, and food as symbolic spaces of resistance and assimilation. Méprise (Disdain) / Lucie Duval, Joseph Lefèvre, Stanley Péan In a modest snack-bar of the Center-South part of Montreal, a small local boss and a tantalizing waitress play a cat and mouse game. But the rituals of seduction are never innocents nor harmless as the characters of this short story will learn. Quittez je vous prie (Please leave) / D. Kimm, Élène Tremblay A woman liquidates her past. Life is elswhere and everything is displaced. Other stories mingle with her own story. Images swallow words. Nothing is left but bits, fragments. What do we know about the others ? They are foreigners and we are so alone. Madame packs up. She returns from where she has not yet come from. As all women one day leave. Bad days / Une mauvaise journée / Michel Lefebvre, Chuck Samuels A story of several bad days are told by means of a series of austere, black and white, close-up photographs of unfortunate daily occurences, accompanied by similarly austere, deadpan texts commenting on the events. As the days unfold, navigating through the events becomes progressively more difficult. What was initially a light and amusing site visit becomes an increasingly dark and aggravating experience for the viewer Zocalo / Daniel Lavoie, André Lemelin A Montreal photographer wanders in the streets of Mexico. He meets a woman, Jadira. He follows her and makes her pose in the city's maxe of streets. The writer, mesmerized by the face of this woman, makes off for Mexico City, on the heels of the images, in search of Jadira. |
