Cantin's video installations and public space’s interventions question the exhibition site as a place where ideas are produced, presented, and perceived. Cantin's productions synthesize natural effects of light and technological-produced imagery in such a way they become poetic phenomena that cause us to question our perceptual relation to space and time. Cantin’s has exhibited in Canada and abroad, among others : the Museum of Contemporary Arts of Montreal, the Museum of Holography of New York, the Museum of Fine Arts of Clermont-Ferrand. He also has realized numerous permanent installations in public spaces : the Montreal Congress Hall, the Mc Gill University of Montreal, and the Theater of the National Monument of Montreal.ater of the National Monument of Montreal. +
