This Vancouver-based artist makes potent use of images that record the disappearance of older homes and cottages in three locations in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. Debeugny’s video and sound installation comprises shots of abandoned places in Port Moody, Ioco and Belcarra, playing against a track of natural and man-made sounds recorded at each site. A sad sense of loss prevails as heritage homes disappear into the maw of una ordable real estate development.
