Known for her practice in expanded photography, Annie Briard’s works connect aesthetics steeped in affect theory, photo conceptualism, and Light and Space. Triangulating between these interdisciplinary modalities, she activates dialogue between each movement’s key concerns. Through moving images, media installations, expanded and print photography, Briard challenges how we make sense of the world and of each other through visual perception, emphasizing paradigms across the fields of ecology, psychology and neuroscience.
Briard’s works have been presented in numerous solo exhibitions, including “Staring at the Sun” at the Quebec Biennale (Québec, 2022), “Superlucent” at Monica Reyes Gallery (Vancouver, 2022), “Within the Eclipse” at the Burrard Arts Foundation (Vancouver, 2021), "Second Sight” at AC Institute (New York, 2019), "Sight Shifting" at Joyce Yahouda Gallery (Montréal, 2014), Recently, she presented monumental public art projects for a number of commissions across Canada including for the Vancouver Art Gallery, the New Westminster Museum, Art Souterrain, and major architectural integration projects. She has been artist-in-residence at High Desert Test sites in Joshua Tree, SIM in Iceland, the Banff Centre for the Arts and others.
