AP115.S2
Description:
Cette série porte sur le travail de documentation photographique de Robert Duchesnay du dôme géodésique du pavilon des États-Unis à l'exposition universelle de 1967 (Expo 67) à Montréal, au Québec. Le dôme, conçu par Buckminster Fuller, mesure 249 pieds de diamètre et 200 pieds de hauteur. Un incendie en 1976 détruit de revêtement de polymère du dôme et ne laisse que la structure en acier. En 1990, la structure est intégrée à l'aménagement du bâtiment d'un musée du l'environnement et les enjeux socio-environnementaux contemporains, la Biosphère. La série contient une sélection d'images de la série intitulée Dome Project élaborée entre 1983 et 1992. Cette série, qui compte 25 photographies, montre le pavillon des États-Unis sous différents angles, depuis l'extérieur et l'intérieur de la structure, ainsi que plusieurs détails architecturaux. La série nous renseigne sur l'état de l'édifice après l'incendie de 1976 et avant qu'il ne soit restauré entre 1993 et 1995 pour devenir la Biosphère; elle nous renseigne aussi sur la pratique artistique de Robert Duchesnay alors que sa principale préoccupation consistait à documenter l'état de ruines du pavillion des États-Unis, afin de sensibiliser l'opinion publique du danger qui menaçait l'édifice de disparaître.
circa 1884-1990
