Heteropolis by Adaptive Actions
Heteropolis, Below the surface is a work produced by Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Jean-François Prost, members of the collective Adaptive Actions (AA), for BNLMTL 2014 L’avenir (looking forward), in collaboration with La Biennale de Montréal and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal. With the participation of workers from the Hilton Bonaventure Hotel, Place des Arts, Le 1000 De La Gauchetière and the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, AA invited underground city workers to select personal photographs of special meaning to them which, once mounted, transform the perception of their often non-designed, strictly utilitarian work environment. A printed material, displayed and distributed at the MAC, documents the clash of these heterogeneous elements.
