Denouement – a multi-media installation by Lindsay Knox, an Edmonton-based visual artist, art educator, and a cultural activist. Denouement is an assemblage of two- and three-dimensional work (photography, video projection, soft sculpture, and mixed media work) that focus on bringing resolution to the question "what does it feel like to look back on your life from the other side?"

This installation explores the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience and appears as a dreamlike space where fiction and reality meet, well-known tropes merge, meanings shift, and past and present fuse. Lindsay Knox's tranquil, poetic objects evoke the aura of aesthetic astonishment and - through subjective associations and parallels - incite the viewers to make new personal associations. Her works are characterized by everyday objects in which recognition plays an important role by applying a poetic and often metaphoric language.

The possible seems true and the truth exists, but it has many faces, - as Hannah Arendt cites from Franz Kafka's "Metamorphoses."

This project is presented in conjunction with the 2022 EXPOSURE Photography Festival. The Flanagan Foundation is a Presenting Partner of this exhibition project.
