The Vertigo, Murals, Dorchester Avenue, Quebec City, PQ by Snuffy

Excerpt from bordee-qc-ca.translate.goog/nouvelle/des-etincelles-dans-...:

In front of us, the vertigo , a giant mural to be seen from the intersection of boulevard Charest and rue Dorchester until next spring.

For this 2022-2023 season, La Bordée was pleased to offer Quebec artist Nadia Morin the mandate to create a new mural. This collaboration proved to be fruitful, since it made it possible to broaden the theme of our programming, Devant nous le vertige, to hitherto untapped avenues. Moreover, Nadia knew how to remain in perfect cohesion with our programming, because, like our plays on the bill, her work gives rise to a shared experience of vertigo during its contemplation. This artist has generously agreed to open the doors of her creative studio to us. Here, she tells us about the journey that led her to the creation of the mural, which, for the months to come, will proudly sit on the back wall of our theatre.

In my practice, I was already interested in the notion of vertigo, in this powerful, unknown and intriguing feeling of throwing oneself into the void, of being attracted to it. To assess the possibilities and take a risk that lives up to our aspirations, this passage to another world or another stage. When I found out that the theme of the mural was Devant nous le vertigo, I thought it echoed my artistic work perfectly. My creation aims to arouse in the public a sweet amalgam of emotions: a poetic vision. It represents the bubbling interiority aroused by the urgency of upheavals and inviting, positive novelties. My works visually transpose the relationship between community and intimacy, which echoes not only the theme of the season, but also the mission of La Bordée.

At the start, I immediately thought of divers, since they are a good metaphor for the attraction of the void, this movement towards an elsewhere. Launching, diving, immersing and summoning the splendor of a new space. Then my thoughts drifted towards the circus artists: tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, acrobats, etc. In their careers, they tend to tame vertigo, appropriate it and reinterpret it into a spectacular event that defies fear. The universe of the circus is very similar to dreams, to our part of the imagination, to fireworks in the night to impress, ephemeral and grandiose moment of magic. I tried, through the mural, to evoke a part of it.

Besides, I always include elements of nature in my collages; I wanted this time to transpose the desire to climb the immensity of the mountains, to reach their summits with unreachable appearances of which we like to be the temporary conquerors. The clouds graze the summit and through the opening on the sky map, I wanted to create a reminder of the raised eyes contemplating the extent of a cartography of constellations and to evoke this moment when one feels so small and overwhelmed. The size of the territories around us can also make you dizzy, as can the possibility of losing their beauty, their access, due to climate change. The fall represents the possibility of this overflow, but also another entry into the void, like an invitation to dare to dive, just to see...

Finally, I wanted to tempt the spectator, to offer him the possibility of experiencing vertigo himself, of climbing the ladder to join the trapeze artists; at the same time, I hope to give it the feeling of grandeur from the bottom of the mural and a different perspective from the heights. Through the colors, I wanted to evoke a sunrise or a sunset and I wanted to offer light to the autumn and winter seasons to come. And if this mural wanted to be sparks in the concrete, a dreamlike landscape to support the vertigo of everyday life and aspire to that of the greatest moments?

– Nadia Morin
