The interactions of both the camera and the viewer with architectural space are at the heart of Lynne Marsh’s video work. In her recent show at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Marsh used a broad range of cinematic techniques in three works that explore architectural spaces. Each of the pieces—Ballroom, Camera Opera and Stadium—features a lone figure (in one case the artist herself) as the protagonist and engages with discourses of societal power such as the media, entertainment culture, the military and the state.
