| | | | | |  | | | | Isabelle Hayeur: Cat's Eye, 2018 | | | | | | Over the past twenty years, Isabelle Hayeur has been probing the territories she has travelled in order to understand how our contemporary civilizations occupy and shape their environment. She is concerned about the future of places and communities in the neoliberal sociopolitical context in which we are living. Her current researches focus on water and resistance. She examines our relationship with bodies of water, underscoring their vital importance. She also document citizens’ resistance, in particular activists who are fighting to protect landscapes and the environment.
Her latest project focuses on the Camp de la Rivière (Camp by the River), a camp occupied by citizens which is located on a logging road leading to the Junex oil exploration site in the Gaspé area (Québec, Canada). This independent movement for re-appropriating the territory began in 2017 to demand a halt to drilling. The camp remains in place in order to inform the population of the risks of oil and gas exploration and development. In both Canada and the United States, legislation is supportive of extractivism and the industry is heavily subsidized by public funding, which leads some citizens to organize in order to condemn the situation and to put forward alternative views. These activists are water conservationists and whistleblowers who are fighting for a cleaner, healthier environment and a fairer society; they are filling the gap left by governments that have let us down. Taken in 2017 and 2018, this body of photographs is an acknowledgement of these citizens’ commitment, solidarity and selflessness. | | | | | | |

In the presence of the artist. | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | Isabelle Hayeur: Fucus Vesiculosus, 2018 | | | | | | The ongoing photographic series "Underworlds" takes Isabelle Hayeur through North America to probe various underwater environments. Working with a watertight housing that allows her to take sub aqua images and footages, she captures submerged environments of all kinds. She is especially interested in altered environments, fragile and threatened ecosystems, but also in pristine and unique ecological conditions. She photographs them from an unfamiliar vantage point, eschewing capture from shoulder height. These views from the inside create a close relationship between the onlooker and the site being documented. They take us closer to these environments by plunging us in their midst, as it were.
Isabelle Hayeur is known for her photographs and her experimental videos. Her work is situated within a critical approach to the environment, urban development and social conditions. She has taken part in many major public shows, including shows at the National Gallery of Canada, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts, the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein in Berlin, the Today Art Museum in Beijing, the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art and the Rencontres internationales de la photographie in Arles.
