Canadian photographer Kourtney Roy is currently exhibiting her latest photographic work at the Hôtel de Limur in Vannes, France, showcasing contemporary architecture throughout the Morbihan department. Despite challenging weather conditions during her documentation process, Roy successfully captured the region's modern architectural landscape through her distinctive artistic lens.
Roy, who studied at Vancouver and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, traveled extensively throughout the Morbihan department as part of a special photographic commission from the DDTM (Direction Départementale des Territoires et de la Mer). Her comprehensive survey of the region's contemporary buildings forms the centerpiece of the exhibition titled "ExtraOrdinaire," which presents a unique perspective on modern architectural developments in this historic French region.
Reflecting on her experience documenting the Morbihan's architectural heritage, Roy noted that "It was a beautiful experience, despite the rainy days." The photographer's resilience in adverse weather conditions demonstrates her commitment to capturing the essence of the region's contemporary structures, regardless of environmental challenges that could have hindered the photographic process.
The exhibition at Vannes' Hôtel de Limur represents a significant cultural event that bridges Canadian and French artistic perspectives, offering visitors an opportunity to view familiar regional architecture through the eyes of an international artist. Roy's unique background, combining her Canadian origins with her French artistic education, provides a distinctive viewpoint on contemporary architectural developments in Morbihan.
