"“Les sens de l’image”"

My vision of travel is about taking time. Time to discover a culture, to interact with the locals, to contemplate, to feel, to listen. Traveling goes beyond just moving from point A to point B, it is about immersing yourself in an environment, experiencing continuous learning, and opening up to others and oneself forgetting the borders that separate us and embracing our differences. This exhibition takes you on a journey around the world, taking your time.
Everyone interprets an image in their own way, influenced by their own codes, experiences, and sensitivities. The exhibition Les sens de l’image invites you to project yourself, imagine, and understand that every moment is unique: seize it! It is an opportunity to travel without moving, to meet without speaking, and to feel without touching.
The importance of sound in travel
For me, sound is as crucial as the photographs on the wall: I aimed to enhance the audience’s imagination and ignite their curiosity.
I started by wondering what these places looked like years after my travels. Then, in the past few weeks, I contacted people around the world to find the exact locations of the photos and record ambient sounds. The joy I felt reconnecting with these places and meeting new people was immense. Through these sounds, I found myself traveling once more, and now, it's your turn to experience this journey!
About the exhibition
About the artist
NICOLAS ROUX
"Driven by a passion for adventure and discovery, I see travel as both a gateway to the world and a journey of self-exploration. Over the years, my travels have led me across various continents - Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, and South America. These experiences have enriched me culturally and profoundly shaped my perspective and sensitivity. For the past six years, I've stopped here in British Columbia, on Turtle Island, where the wild nature and vast landscapes inspire me.
My approach focuses on capturing the present moment. Each photograph is an effort to reveal the beauty in everyday life, emphasizing the authenticity of each moment. Through my images, I aim to convey raw and sincere emotions, sharing the wealth of my discoveries and encounters with others."

Each year, Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver is proud to present five exhibitions of the works of talented francophone and francophile artists from British Columbia, and sometimes from other provinces. These exhibitions give sculptors, painters, photographers and multidisciplinary artists the opportunity to showcase their work professionally in the library of Le Centre for 1-2 months.
Each exhibition opens with a public wine and cheese reception, free of charge, where visitors can meet and talk to the artist.
Current exhibitions can be visited during the regular opening hours at Le Centre culturel francophone de Vancouver.
