Lemoyne (2005)
A look at the life and works of Quebec painter and performance artist, Serge Lemoyne (1941-1998). The mosaic is composed of 8mm and16mm film, personal videos of the artist that serve as a kind of diary, televisual archives, as well as interviews with the artist's peers, including Claude Péloquin, Marcel Saint-Pierre and Claude Jasmin. With his installations, performances and Land Art, Lemoyne shook the Quebec art scene beginning in 1963 with multidisciplinary events combining poetry, music, painting and dance. He also introduced Quebec to the spirit and practice of Pop Art. For Lemoyne, the boundary between art and life was blurred. For ten years he went through his "red, white and blue" period, the colours of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team and its stars Jean Béliveau, Guy Lafleur and Ken Dryden. From the early eighties until his death, he worked at transforming his native house of Acton Vale-destroyed by arson two years after his death-into a work of art, questioning in the process the nature of art and its role in society.
