Radical Nature

Somewhere between the Stone Age and our contemporary leisure society, anachronistic vehicles are scattered throughout the neighbourhood. You’re free to climb on, but good luck achieving forward movement: the Flintstones-style quad, personal watercraft, and all-terrain vehicle are literally set in stone. This raw, inert mineral material lends a paradoxical monumentality to these vehicles that symbolize the human power to impose ourselves on the natural environment for recreational pleasure.


Project realised and produced in the frame of PASSAGES INSOLITES 2023, one of the largest ephemeral public art event in Canada. Presented by the Ville de Québec and EXMURO arts publics under the artistic direction of Vincent Roy, PASSAGES INSOLITES is a public art circuit that unveils each year new public artworks. Since 2016, PASSAGES INSOLITES have been traveling around Canada and the world, promoting the works and the artists.
