Image souped in Virginia Creeper berry for 24 hours. Sunflowers from the Jardin Vague, a community garden in La Friche, are exposed over piles of cement blocks that have become a popular meeting spot. These blocks sit on part of the site now owned by Ray-Mont Logistics, a logistics and transportation corporation that purchased a large portion of the former Canadian Steel Foundries grounds in 2016 to develop an economic activity zone along the Saint Lawrence River/ Kaniatarowanenneh. Despite strong community opposition, which led to a legal battle and a multi-million-dollar settlement in 2024, Ray- Mont continues to develop the site.
Image souped in Virginia Creeper berry for one week. On the left, sumac trees are shown at the end of November. On the right, the wall of l’Achoppe in Hochelaga, where a panel discussion took place with Célia Izoard, a French journalist and philosopher. Izoard’s work explores the social and ecological impacts of new technologies, with a focus on the extractivist ideology behind the energy transition. The second exposure was taken along rue Notre-Dame, just south of the site, where the Vopak Terminals of Canada — handling petroleum, chemicals, and other bulk liquids — are visible along the Saint- Lawrence River (Kaniatarowanenneh).
