My Alerts Caroline Hayeur
As a 15-year member of the Agence Photo Stock photographers’ collective, Caroline Hayeur explores forms of contemporary socialization through the quest for social interaction, emotion and rituality. Her projects, Rituel festif : Portraits de la scène rave à Montréal, Tanz Party and Amalgat — Danse, tradition et autres spiritualités have been featured in renowned publications and presented in Quebec and overseas. Through her exhibition entitled Humanitas to be presented at the Maison de la culture Plateau-Mont-Royal in December 2011, Hayeur catalogues the powerful emotions that punctuate life from birth until death. It was with great pleasure and curiosity that she immersed herself in the depths of the métro for the Tribute to public transit workers of yesterday and today exhibition. Truth is not the focus of her practice—she is not a photo-documentarian, nor is she hitched to any particular medium or contracted work. Behind her quest for universality is her determination to capture the here and now.
