EXHIBIT AT RENCONTRES: BONUM ITER COMPOSTELLAM (HAVE A GOOD TRIP TO COMPOSTELA)

“Compostela. The simple evocation of the name echoes more than anything else a mythical quest. On the pathways that lead to it the pilgrim makes a commitment, on foot or by bicycle, and the journey becomes the measure of his or her personal and private limitations.

“To commit oneself on these pathways is to suspend the immortality of the present moment.

“In the framework of my residency I set off to encounter landscapes, craftspeople, pilgrims and volunteers that make this pathway a unique place in the world.”

- Jean-François Bérubé
