| Errata Editions’ Books on Books series is an on-going publishing project dedicated to making rare and out-of-print photography books accessible to students and photobook enthusiasts. These are not reprints or facsimiles but complete studies of those originals. Each in this series presents the entire content, page for page, of an original master bookwork which, up until now, has been too rare or prohibitively expensive for most to experience. Through a mix of classic and contemporary titles, this series spans the breadth of photographic practice as it has appeared on the printed page and allows further study into the creation and meanings of these great works of art.

| Expo Matthieu Brouillard et Donigan Cumming |
| Deux artistes de générations différentes, dont les univers visuels, émotionnels et conceptuels semblent néanmoins se conjuguer et s’amplifier au sein d’une exposition faisant ressortir une affinité d’intérêts et de sensibilité. Les projets photographiques conçus par Donigan Cumming dans les années 1980 et ceux de Matthieu Brouillard, réalisés depuis 2003, proposent un contact inusité avec la mise en scène et le portrait photographiques. | Au fil de son parcours, chacun des artistes a développé un vocabulaire et une approche qui lui sont propres : les photographies de Donigan Cumming affichent une dimension sociodocumentaire et une urbanité sans fard, alors que Matthieu Brouillard fait évoluer ses personnages dans un univers tout aussi troublant, mais théâtralisé par moments, chargé de symbolisme. Il y a quelques années, de manière indépendante et fortuite, chacun a découvert la production de l’autre, y décelant aussitôt des affinités avec la sienne. Depuis, tous deux entretiennent un dialogue professionnel, dont l’exposition permet de saisir toute la pertinence. | ||||||
|
Chacun des artistes exploite admirablement bien la richesse des nuances et l’intensité des contrastes que permet la photographie noir et blanc. À ces qualités esthétiques généralement appréciées dans l’art photographique s’ajoutent une netteté de l’image et une clarté des détails qui, étrangement, se heurte à une réalité imprécise, offrant des contours troubles : indétermination des lieux et incertitude des émotions, mélangeant le familier avec le bizarre. Les œuvres expriment ainsi une tension latente (parfois hurlante) entre l’être et son environnement. À travers des actes de résistance ou d’abandon, une scénographie déconcertante ou une misère réelle, les univers de Cumming et de Brouillard suscitent un sentiment de malaise, teinté de curiosité et de sympathie. Martin Labrie, commissaire |

| Matthieu Brouillard and Donigan Cumming, "The Photo Book" : March 2nd, 11-4pm. | ||
| Wolfville, Nova Scotia | Donigan Cumming’s The Stage (1991) is featured in The Photobook: A History – Volume 2, edited by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. Matthieu Brouillard is the author of Darkness implacable (2011), a monograph of his photographic works.In 2012, they worked closely together on the creation of a two-person exhibition and publication, Coming through the Fog: les rencontres de Matthieu Brouillard et de Donigan Cumming, and their collaboration taught them a great deal more about publishing. Considering the development and significance of the photobook, Brouillard and Cumming will take workshop participants through the steps of editing and creating their own photo book. This one-day workshop begins with a stack of images, scotch tape and brown paper, and ends up with a meaningful sequence and layout, ready for transfer to a digital platform. Along the way, there will be much to talk about as participants share their ideas and respond to each other’s work. The ideal workshop participant is someone with images that they want to share and a passion for photo books. | |

For over thirty years, has explored the social and ethical implications of the observational image with an “improvised community” of apparently marginal Montreal figures to unsettling effect. His work constitutes an ongoing analysis of the manufactured naturalism of social documentary photography and the subjects it purports to witness and describe. Rooted in the photographic image, his work spans various media from video and installation to drawing and collage.

Depuis plus de trente ans, explore, avec des résultats troublants, les incidences sociales et éthiques de l’image observationnelle au moyen d’une « communauté improvisée » qui se compose de personnages montréalais apparemment marginaux. L’oeuvre de Cumming constitue une analyse suivie du naturalisme artificiel de la photographie documentaire sociale et des sujets dont elle prétend témoigner et qu’elle décrit. Son oeuvre, bien qu’ancrée dans l’image photographique, embrasse différents médiums : vidéo, installation, dessin et collage.

"To encounter the work of Matthieu Brouillard and Donigan Cumming is to encounter ghosts. Haunts littered with the detritus of hard living, blemished with the effects of a society that has failed them, the ghosts are naked, stripped of clothes and of possessions, squatting the crevices of undergrounds almost void of human presence. Some are barely visible, while others are long dead. Erin Silver |
