Béchard Hudon
Catherine Béchard and Sabin Hudon have worked collaboratively for over 25 years. Their work probes the in-between spaces linked to inhabited territories, as well as the alternative or parallel temporalities of all living beings’ activities. They are particularly interested in the notion of habitat and micro-habitat, by focusing on the unique characteristics and infinite configurations that are found in environments inhabited by different forms of life. They examine the sound materiality of urban, terrestrial, and aquatic ecosystems, opening intervals of attentiveness to the complexity of the world’s permanent humming within the layers of reality. By thoroughly examining the space-time of places inhabited by living beings, they aim to increase our awareness of the complexity of these diverse environments and their numerous cohabitating species, to reveal a world that exists beyond what is typically audible and visible.
Their creative projects take the form of installations, sculptures, sound works, videos, and photography. Their work has been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the United States, the Czech Republic, Brazil, Germany, Croatia, and China. [Source: Galerie UQO, 2026]
