... is an architectural designer and artist based in Montreal. Working primarily across video and performance, his practice contends with and casts doubt upon ordered configurations of bodies and/in space through apertures of policy, memory, and identity.
        He holds an M.Arch. degree from McGill University where he was awarded the Ping Kwan Lau Prize in Architecture for his final design project, Rehearsing the (*) Bathroom. He also contributed to the conception and design for Eagle Village, an artist book notably acquired by the CCA, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Getty Research Institute.
