Organized and circulated throughout Canada by the Musee de Quebec, has received financial support from the mistere de la Culture et des Communications du Quebec and from Canada Council for the Arts.

For Canadian artist Bill Vazan “nature and humanity are profoundly linked”. For over 40 years Vazan has investigated the human-cosmos relationship in his land art, sculpture, painting and photography. In this photo-based exhibition Vazan turns his camera towards the  landscape of Quebec (“new world”) and Egypt (“old world”). For Vazan these contrasting landscapes are surfaces, important not only for what we see in them but for what is unseen. It is what lies beneath the surface, the unseen and the unknown, what the artist refers to as “cosmological shadows,” that Vazan explores in his ongoing investigation of the nature of the cosmos and our place in it.
