The practice of Patrick Bérubé is mainly in sculpture, installation and public intervention. He’s interested to the contradictory reports, whether emotional, physical or carnal, that
the Man maintain with himself and his environment. How the Man has rooted the entire
conception of his existence on its uniqueness, systematizing and reducing it to its
size, so as to make it more perceptible and to forget the immeasurability of its
scale and strength.
In these times of crisis, his works address political and societal issues through
different notions of memory, anticipation, repetition, transformation and mutation.
They try to demonstrate our fragility and our vulnerability to the inevitable...
Although it is question of cycles and perpetual movements, it is especially
paralysis and immobility in the face of the excesses of the world that it is about!
