In 2023, Avatar is initiating a long-term, customized three-year residency to support Fortin in exploring and enriching her world of sound. In the first phase of the residency, her five kinetic sculptures: ‘Envoy’, ‘Decade’, ‘2RPM’, ‘Two Revolutions Per Minute’ and ‘Cloud Nine’ were recorded at Avatar’s studio and Université Laval’s gallery.

In 2024, for the second residency, Fortin immersed herself in composing, mixing and spatializing her recordings, to produce a first sound composition entitled “Ny-Alesund” and to draft a new spatialized installation. To mark the end of the second residency, a first variation of her work was publicly presented, in collaboration with Oboro, Art Center (Montreal, Canada).

In 2025, for the third  residency, the project will conclude with the production of an original installation. This installation presented at Biennale Manif d’Art will retrace the artist’s creative process, offering a plunge into Amélie Laurence Fortin’s wonderfully enigmatic universe and a reflection on the performativity of body, object and space in the experience of sound.
