Serge Clément is a Quebec photographer born in Valleyfield in 1950. He practices a photography of inquiry, research and creation. Offering poetic and disconcerting images, his approach ranges from documentary to installation, including social commentary, poetic narrative and photographic essay. Clément's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions in various European countries, Hong Kong and Canada. He has published several photographic books, made short films from photographic images, presented exhibitions and installations, always exploring different modes of expression that question the image and its media. Serge Clément's work can be found in major institutional and private collections in Canada, France, Belgium and Hong Kong. He lives and works in Montreal.
This photographic and cinematographic perfume reveals a fictional city crossed in space and time, Hong Kong prefiguring the destiny of Shanghai, and gives us a glimpse of the megacities of the 21st century. But Serge Clément takes us far beyond and below history, into multidimensional chiaroscuro that speaks to us of him and of us, of what we are and what we will be. A film without words.
