Episode 10: Celia Perrin Sidarous

Celia Perrin Sidarous photographs objects and spaces. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Walter Phillips Gallery (Les Choses, 2013), WWTWO (Paha-Koli is Evil Mountain, 2012), VU (Le livre des choses, 2011) and Les Territoires (Trouées, 2009). Celia has attended residences at The Banff Centre, Vermont Studio Center, Artscape Lodge Artist Retreat at Gibraltar Point, The Art and Culture Center Kolin Ryynänen (Finland) and Centre Sagamie. She earned a BFA in 2008 and is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts at Concordia University.

In this episode Celia discusses practices of looking; the secret life of inanimate objects; self-referentiality and the experience of time; travelling with art; the frame of the camera as a space of exploration; the politics of being an artist; and the importance of defamiliarization.

This episode was hosted and produced by Yaniya Lee.
