isabelle hayeur - fire with fire

Media_http24mediatumb_ghsdg

Isabelle Hayeur created 'Fire with Fire', a video installation in Vancouver, Canada. The work is site-specific and used 3 Blu-ray players and video projectors.

The piece is a 15 minute video loop, simulating fire in a building in the Downtown Eastside, the city's oldest and most run-down neighbourhood.
Many lives have been blighted by social problems due to poverty. 'Fire with Fire' calls attention to the present conditions of the area whilst recalling the destructive Great Vancouver Fire of 1886.
