About

Een solotentoonstelling van Carl Trahan waarin het fotografische handelen wordt onderzocht door ontkenning en mysticisme, te zien in VOX, centre de l'image contemporaine in Montréal van 18 september tot 28 november 2026.

Carl Trahan's exhibition poses the question of what it means to capture a shadow, exploring photography through the philosophical prisms of negation and mysticism.

The work revisits theoretical writings from the 1980s that positioned photography as a way of escaping the unbearable nature of existence, asking how the discipline has shaped humanity's relationship with reality since its very origins.

An accompanying essay by Michel Hardy-Vallée is forthcoming.

Admission is free. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11:00–17:00, starting September 18, 2026.
