Filmed along the Scottish coast, this experimental film project by Karl Lemieux documents the decommissioning of offshore oil platforms at the end of their operational life, transforming an industrial process into a sensory experience where image, sound, and materiality converge. Presented as an installation, Platforms confronts viewers with these monuments of the oil industry, opening a space for reflection on our relationship to territory, time, and the irreversible transformations of the contemporary world.
The exhibition opening will take place on November 20 at 5 p.m.
Presented at the artist-run centre OBORO, in partnership with the Office national du film du Canada.
