Additional Information
Presented at the Centre PHI until early May 2025, Jean-Marc Vallée: Mixtape is an exhibition suggesting a multimedia and (particularly) musical journey through the late director’s work. Music, especially the pop/rock/americana corpus, was the foundation of his cinematography, without which he would not have had this unique signature. His collaborators and close friends all testify to having been influenced by his choices. For him, music was a driving force for acting and emotion, magnifying images and thus moving filmgoers.
“Mixtape” is made up of four installations and a sound environment that accompanies and envelops the public throughout the tour. These different spaces highlight several key moments in Vallée’s career, but are above all an invitation to delve into the artist’s head and music to discover what inspired him in his daily life, influenced him in his creation and what was transposed to the big screen.”
For an even better understanding of the exhibition, its creative director and co-designer Sylvain Dumais is interviewed by Alain Brunet for PAN M 360.
