The series of photographies entitled fleurs liquides rgathers image of vegetable ink rounds. Native or introduced, the most abundant varieties of wildflowers shape the landscape. To create the inks, Mélissa has picked wild roses, epiliobes, golden rod and St. John’s wort in the Baie-des-Chaleurs, in the Gaspé Peninsula. She then experimented with them without concern for conservation, letting the matter transform. Dropped on watercolor paper, the inks dried revealing their own geography.

  • Mélissa Longpré is from Carleton-sur-Mer, lives in Montreal and works on different territories that she explores during research-creation residencies. It translates its sensitive relationship to biodiversity and sharpens our attention to life through photography, printed image, specimen collection and the use of organic matter as a medium. Micropublishing is inserted in its practice as an end or complement to the corpora it creates. She holds a certificate in visual arts and a baccalaureate in graphic design from UQAM. Her work has been presented in Quebec and Europe as part of solo and group exhibitions: Occurrence, Hangar 7826, VU, Arprim, Prima Ink/Troms Fylkeskultursenter, Vaste et Vague, Magasin Général, P.U.I/Nantes, Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie, and at various events on the photographic book.
