Simon S. Belleau
Simon S. Belleau is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker based in Montreal whose practice spans sculpture, video, installation, painting, and photography. His work draws heavily from theatrical and cinematic traditions, using these frameworks to investigate the complex interplay between what is openly visible—spectacle—and the hidden dynamics operating behind the scenes. Belleau is particularly interested in the mechanisms that shape both theatre and politics, exploring how these systems negotiate power, perception, and control. Historical moments, texts, and specific locations often serve as points of departure in his projects. From these foundations, he delves into philosophical questions around storytelling, the process of translation, the layering of images and ideas through montage, and the fluid nature of time. By integrating these concerns, Belleau’s work challenges viewers to reconsider how narratives are constructed, mediated, and understood, positioning his practice at the intersection of visual art and critical inquiry. ...
