PHOTOLAB 5: ALTHEA THAUBERGER

Althea Thauberger’s two-channel video installation, L’arbre est dans ses feuilles (The Tree is in its Leaves) was commissioned for PhotoLab by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, with support from the Canadian Photography Institute (CPI) of the National Gallery of Canada. The installation was inspired in part by the People Tree — a Canadian “family tree” produced by the National Film Board for Expo 67 and the video examines the legacy of Lorraine Monk, Executive Producer of the Still Photography Division from 1960 to 1980.
