Artwork description

The artwork is situated in Place De La Dauversière; its axial position in relation to the door to Montréal city hall, on the other side of Rue Notre-Dame, contributes to its symbolic reading. It is composed of a wide horizontal rectangular panel made of Corten steel, the oxidized surface of which bears pierced inscriptions that give a short historical description, as well as the names and ages of the members of the first family in Ville-Marie. In the evening, light comes through the clefts in the letters, which are reflected on a tempered-glass plate placed on the ground. Articulated around a symbolic representation of the door, open and closed, the artwork creates a link between past and present, between de La Dauversière’s original vision and today’s images retransmitted by the glass plate.
