Démarche artistique
Looking on in amusement at her surroundings, Amélie Jodoin is interested in modifying and transforming existing images. For the past years, she has focused on the metamorphosis of the landscapes in which she finds herself. She considers the pictorial quality of her environment: its colours, composition, textures and objects. By extracting certain elements from the landscapes and by introducing incongruous ones into them, she produces fictional scenes based on reality, in which familiar objects are placed in unexpected ways in the style of site-specific art.
