Opening Reception: Thursday, November 8, 2018

Event here

Me vs Others is a photographic installation comprised of signed pigment prints by Laurence Philomene, as well as a short film directed by Arizona O’Neill, co-directed by Laurence Philomene, with text by Heather O’Neill.
On the night of the 8th, the short film premiere will be at 19:00.

Me vs Others is an ongoing photographic experiment that seeks to explore the nature of individual identity in the 21st century. This project takes root in a state of anxiety over online existence, and the constant gaze that comes with it. As a response to these anxieties, in December 2014, I began photographing other people dressed as myself in an orange wig mimicking my hair, in lieu of a traditional self-portrait practice. Soon I was on a quest to photograph every possible self - everyone I have been, or could have been; a world of endless possibilities. Increasingly, there is a sense of dissonance between this repeated image of the self and reality, like creating my very own caricature. With this work, I invite the audience to ask themselves: how do we come to brand ourselves? What do we come to identify as visual markers of ourselves? What parts of the story do we keep to ourselves?

Laurence Philomene is an emerging non-binary photographer, director and curator based in Montreal, Canada. Laurence’s work is colourful and candid, and deals with questions of identity as seen through a queer/trans lens. Laurence’s work on gender and identity has been published in the likes of Dazed, I- D, Vice, Broadly, CBC Arts, Courrier International, Teen Vogue, Hunger Magazine, Wonderland, and The Independent, to name a few. Laurence has participated in over 30 exhibitions worldwide, including 3 solo exhibits in Toronto, Berlin and Cracow. The artist is currently working on a 10-year retrospective book, which will be published in collaboration with Editions Lemaitre (Paris) in 2019.

Me vs Others est une série photographique expérimentale qui explore l'identité individuelle au 21e siècle. Ce projet nait de l’anxiété créée par la vie en ligne et le regard constant qui l’accompagne. C’est en décembre 2014, en réponse à mes inquiétudes, que j'ai commencé à photographier des personnes jouant mon rôle plutôt que de réaliser des autoportraits traditionnels. Je les ai habillés de mes vêtements et leur ai fait porter une perruque orange afin d’imiter mes cheveux. Bientôt, je me suis mis en quête de photographier chaque «moi» possible - tout ce que j'ai été ou aurais pu être - m’ouvrant à un monde de possibilités infinies. Éventuellement, j’ai ressenti un sentiment de dissonance entre cette image répétée de moi et la réalité, comme si je faisais ma propre caricature. Avec ce travail, j'invite donc le public à se demander: comment nous démarquons-nous? Qu’identifions-nous comme marqueurs visuels de nous-mêmes? Quelle partie de l'histoire gardons-nous pour nous?
