About the Item
Karine Payette builds vast dreamlike settings from hyperrealistic, banal objects in order to produce something narrative that evokes the precariousness of the world. The artist plays and thwarts our vision of things, to make us think about the instability of matter and forms.
Mainly using the medium of installation, but also photography and video, Karine Payette produces fictitious environments resembling hanging paintings, which question the environment in which we live. Fascinated by the intrinsic links between the concepts of identity and habitat, she interrogates the notions of comfort and discomfort in a world of perpetual transformation.
In her work, Payette builds extensive interior stagings of domicile from an assembly of recycled materials and manufactured objects, with the aim of producing something narrative that evokes the precarious world surrounding us. Through the playfulness and the indiscriminate use of trivial objects, she plays and eludes to our common vision, forcing us to cogitate on the instability of matter and form with which we cohabitate.
The stagings of the artist reveal stunning nature and create an unusual dialogue between the chosen objects. Objects implemented evolve in enigmatic spaces that suggest the loss of control. K.Payette explores the potential impact of adversity on our lifestyle and her dreamlike and incongruous universe permits an attentive and critical human society and social behavior and personal.

Karine Payette
Karine Payette was born in 1983 in Montreal, Quebec, where she lives and works. Working primarily with sculpture and installation, she reproduces, for the most part, environments that address the constant adaptation of the living in a world in perpetual transformation. Her recent research focuses on the idea of inscription and imprinting of the environment on the individual by examining the relationship that humans have with other species. Since 2010, she has participated in several solo and group exhibitions. Her works are present in the collections of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Prêt d’œuvres d’art du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, the City of Montreal, the City of Longueuil, the City of Laval. Since 2015, she has completed nine projects integrating art into architecture for schools, libraries and parks in Quebec.

- De part et d’autreBy Karine PayetteLocated in Montreal, QuebecText by Nancy Webb It’s Saturday night and Karine Payette is in her studio. We meander into a conversation about the dog she used to have and her soft spot for German shepherds, an intensely obedient and loyal breed in a deceivingly wolf-like package. Payette’s most recent series of photographs, sculptures and video work seem to speak directly to this preoccupation with the multifaceted nature of human-animal relationships—the dialogues of control, intimacy, violence and domestication that subtly take place on an interspecies level. Her workspace is part laboratory, part prop closet—a bowl of fur sits not far from her computer. Somehow in this bright, open, chemical-clean scented room, Payette conjures wildness. We are taken to a strange place, the borderlands of interspecies mingling. At one extreme of the animal-human dynamics scale is the stalwart compliance of a professionally trained German shepherd who responds to commands with robotic precision. Here, power is comfortably held by an off-screen voice, animality pacified by a set of linguistic prompts. At the other end of the scale is a sculpture of a human figure clad in red, sharing a languorous kiss with a wolf. The story of Little Red Riding Hood is immediately called to mind, except that here our hooded protagonist seems to have bailed on grandmother’s orders, instead opting for a forest floor make-out with her canine stalker. This taboo mise-en-scène is a brazen inquiry into the boundaries we maintain with our animal counterparts. Its scale and three-dimensionality contribute to a feeling of immersion that the artist has been courting with her work for the past several years. It feels as though you’ve just walked in on something: you are implicated and your discomfort is like an invisible mist that coats these inanimate beings. Elsewhere in Payette’s suite of anthropomorphic works, the demarcation between species grows even fainter. A photographic series depicts the slow encroachment of fur, scales and feathers on human skin—a striking process of contamination facilitated by touch. The fusion of flesh, charcoal cat fur and a pale silky dress...Category

Themes such as the double and the metamorphosis, otherwise put, themes of atrophied characters are all representations of the abject. Berszán’s creation is located at the fine border between the representation of identity and its dissolution thusly aiming to represent the non-symbolized. The dynamic separation and the transitional object...Category
