Charles-Frédérick Ouellet
at Pointe-à-la-croix

To winter there is a visual narrative inspired by the expeditions of Louis Jolliet (1645-1700) across the North American continent, a territory he traveled over for much of his life, until eventually he disappeared at sea. Nearly three hundred years later, in the absence of his lost journals, Charles-Frédérick Ouellet set off in the footsteps of this forgotten character, along inland-flowing. rivers. His photographs reveal two regions located in opposite directions: one in the southern United States, towards the mouth of the Mississippi, the other in northern Québec, where the Labrador Sea is an imposing presence.
