Panoramic Paris


HV20

The Tuileries are the largest and oldest public park in Paris. Their official incorporation into the Musée du Louvre on January 1, 2005, reestablished the historic coherence of the vast royal palace and its grounds. The gardens were an integral part of the palatial scheme created by the kings of France. With their landscaping, vistas, and sculptures, they provide the perfect complement to the buildings. The preservation of this exceptional historic monument and the interlinking of the Tuileries and Carrousel gardens have made it possible to bring a major art form—that of landscape design—into the Louvre. http://www.louvre.fr/llv/musee/promenade.jsp?bmLocale=en

First Fish, A Gift From The Sea

The Sockeye salmon return to the Fraser River. With an estimated 25-million sockeye expected, this year’s Fraser River run could be the strongest on the river since 1913.
The bounty is especially welcome after a disastrous 2009 season when a little more than one million salmon made their way back to the river. A 32-hour commercial fishery on the river started at noon on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. It will be followed with an aboriginal fishery over the weekend of August 28/29. The tidal sport fishery remains open until September 19th.

Silent Waters

Silent Waters | Rough Sketches | June 09

Rough sketches focusing on rivers, salmon, and the sustainability of wild salmon in British Columbia.
The piece is being designed as a live surround sound & panoramic video installation. 

The past 2 centuries have been revolutionary ones for the people and wild fish living in British Columbia.

Patterns of fishing and social interaction that evolved slowly over millennia have been swept aside, or forced into radical change. Silent Waters explores ideas of environmental and cultural sustainability in the face of industrialization and globalization.
