An investigation of the inner worlds of artists David Altmejd, Patrice Duhamel, Michael A. Robinson and Ève K. Tremblay who delve into transient states. The worlds they invent constitute a kind of investigation where the common motif is a quest in the labyrinth of the psyche. Whether through dreams, tales, delirium or the absurd, they create a multi-referential iconography opening onto parallel worlds and propose an exploration of an outside time in which the process of inner transformation is both the basis and the objective.
