Audrey St-Laurent
Director and Botanical Expertregeneration
With her Micromondes project, Audrey captured the attention of Cirque du Soleil to imagine the world of OVO. Plunged into a lush jungle, bathed in golden light, the spectator finds himself reduced to the size of an insect.
A trained florist, then an art director specializing in botany, and now a filmmaker, Audrey masters the composition of natural scenes. She brings fragments of the outdoors inside and observes them with such fascination that she draws us in.
Before moving into filmmaking, Audrey built an impressive portfolio as an art director, contributing to projects such as Swarovski (directed by Christophe Colette), Wired (photographed by Nik Mirus), Greenbeaver (Les Garçons), Bath & Body Works (Caravane) and a Klo Pelgag music video co-directed by Camille Boyer and Soleil Denault.
Through Audrey’s lens
Audrey replenishes her creative energy during her nature expeditions, whether it’s a three-day trip to Bic National Park in Quebec or a month-long artist residency in British Columbia. Her latest project with musician Alex Nevsky was directly inspired by one of these stays in a small town a few hours outside of Montreal, where footage shot in nature was projected during one of his tours.
Organic geek
Audrey loves experimenting with different technologies that allow her to multiply perspectives on the botanical world, whether it’s with artificial intelligence, 3D scans or a robotic arm.
Micromondes was filmed using a probe mounted on a robotic arm. It took several weeks to choreograph the camera movements through the eight-square-foot set installed in our Montreal studios.
À PROPOS
Having completed studies in visual and media arts, Audrey St-Laurent developed a practice in photography and video with a sculptural aspect that unites her various interests in new technologies and the environment. Her passion for the plant world led her to pursue studies in floristry, then to start her own business, where she created numerous installations in various event and film contexts. She then worked as a floral stylist and set art director, eventually becoming represented by L’ÉLOI, where she works on numerous shoots, now as a director. She’s simultaneously developing her practice in sculpture and digital arts, where she explores the relationship between the digital and physical materiality through ecological issues.
