This work resonates with Ballets Jazz Montréal and the four choreographic pieces presented during the Bulles Jazz Montréal benefit evening: The Second First Time (Madeleine Salhany), Chameleon (Zack Preece), Catharsis (Troy Atamanuk), and Monster Within (Yosmell Calderon Mejias). These creations emerged from a ten-hour incubation-laboratory process dedicated to choreographic research.

In continuity with this temporal framework, the artist developed this tableau-photographic work over an equivalent duration, establishing a parallel between choreographic gesture and photographic gesture. Throughout the evening, the artist worked with a shutter speed of 1/8 of a second; a threshold at which form dissolves into performative memory, mirage, and abstraction. The image shifts from capture toward passage. The body extends into trace, vibration, and visual memory.

Long exposure and superimposition open an ethereal, almost meditative perceptual space in continuous motion, where vision becomes sensory. In resonance with themes of transformation and catharsis, the work constructs a non-linear temporal field in which gestures overlap, fragment, and persist as echoes.

The work was unveiled at the Conseil des arts de Montréal. Twenty editions were donated to the foundation and to the participating artists.
