Alex Dozois

Fratrie, 2020.

Bio: Alex is a visual artist from Sainte-Adèle, a small town in Les Laurentides, and now living and studying in Montreal completing a BFA in photography at Concordia University. 

Her work consists of photographic images dealing with contemplation, stillness and slowness. She is concerned with how much of our daily life is designed for us to experience it fast. The concept of time consumption and time itself feels crucial. Dozois mainly works with the human experience in its simplicity and the principle that the stillness of a moment can be both soothing and overwhelming. By capturing the body as a landscape and landscape as a portrait, she blurs the lines of the abstract between those concepts. She is drawn to create with intuition and impulsions, and has an approach to light that revolves around its natural cycle and the many different esthetic opportunities it includes. Her work is mostly with color and black and white film because of the slower approach to photography it forces one to adopt. Dozois is concerned about the textures, the lines, the different tones that we might take for granted in an environment and can shape an image in a fascinating and mesmerizing way.
