/R E P E A T -- INVITATION TO THE MEDIA - EVERGON - Theatres of the Intimate/

DARE TO ENTER THE BURLESQUE, FLESHLY UNIVERSE OF EVERGON!

QUÉBEC, Sept. 28, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - This unclassifiable artist, a genuine pioneer in Canadian photography, has humorously re-examined portraits, landscapes, and nudes by creating strong, moving, irreverent imagery.

A dense, trenchant retrospective devoted to him reveals a rich and diverse career spanning 50 years distinguished by bold photographic, technological, and aesthetic research.
