2025 | YANN POCREAU
THE LAPSE IN BETWEEN
TORONTO
March 13 - May 3, 2025

Opening Reception : Thursday March 13, 6-8pm

**Yann Pocreau**, *A light shift 01*, Print on metallized film, 29 in x 40 in.

Blouin Division is pleased to present a new body of photo-based work by Yann Pocreau.

The lapse in between brings together a range of images chosen for the narrative they evoke. Found and vernacular, these images call for a narrative more than for a subject, which is often fragmented and elliptical. In this way, images said to have failed – blurred, with superimposed points of view, marred by time or by the artist – create an ensemble where behind the complex simplicity of their composition emanate sensual tensions, interrupted yet almost cinematic narratives.

Presented as part of the CONTACT Photography Festival.

Quebec City–born artist Yann Pocreau (b. 1980) lives and works in Montreal. Comprising photography, sculpture, installation, and projection, his multimedia practice has been presented both nationally and internationally, including at Les Rencontres d’Arles, France (2019), the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (2021), and currently at The Image Centre, Toronto (2025). His work is part of numerous public and private collections, such as those of the National Bank of Canada, Hydro-Québec, the City of Montreal, the Museum of Contemporary Art (Montreal), the Musée d’art de Joliette and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (Quebec City). His permanent public art installation Les diamants irréguliers was inaugurated in downtown Montreal in 2024.
