Photo-based visual artist Samuel Choisy approaches photography as performance art. Minimalist, vibrantly-coloured shapes cut from lighting gels and paper are hung like a kinetic mo bile, and then photographed while Choisy slowly dances around the subject with his camera. Hand held and set on long exposures, this time-based creative process presents a visual recording of a choreographed or improvised situation, and is the first chapter of a broader body of research based on the idea of an inner landscape. Born in France, Choisy received a DNAP from l'École de l'Image d'Angoulême (1999) and a DNSEP from l'École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes (2001). He is the recipient of numerous grants from the Ontario Arts Council and he currently lives and works in Toronto. Show more
