Having experienced moving from one culture to another, with all that implies in terms of language adaptations and social, I'm the notion of transient state, and the links between this state and questions of identity and belonging, and that living in a society with global developments and technology. For ten years, I explore these questions using inflatable objects that conform to the shape of clothing and housing. Contrasting with the stable and solid architecture and monumental sculpture, my costumes and my structures are mobile, air-filled and responsive to the places and people that activate. I used materials such as latex rubber, polyvinyl, polyurethane, foil reversible, cloth, fans and solar panels, I use technology to create an intimate experience, but paradoxically public, who are formally inspired by their function and the idea of the nomadic journey of contemporary uprooted. *************

The film installation Running Rabbits: Chantier d’avenir is an attempt to reconcile the dialogues and languages of film, video and installation and to give shape to the elusive quality of cinematographic fiction. The work presents an apparently suspended drama based on the realities of the logging camp and wood lot, which are endowed with a cinematographic dimension extending beyond the frame.
Driven by a keen interest in creating or suggesting fictitious narratives through the projection of animated images upon material objects, Noémie Payant-Hébert employs sound and video in this work, particularly through the use of digital landscapes and music loops. Ongoing worksites, our forests are raised up and cut down, an activity which will remain tied to the satisfaction and exhaustion of raging ambition for change, fear of solitude, thirst for discovery and need to belong.
The present project was completed during a creative residency at the Daïmon production center and with the support of the Conseil des arts et lettres du Québec. Noémie Payant-Hébert completed a Master's degree in art, with a special focus on video, installation and set design, and a bachelor's degree in film and video at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.
