Marc Paradis, an Ogre's Desire

New digital publication: Marc Paradis, an Ogre's Desire

Marc Paradis, an Ogre’s Desire is a digital publication dedicated to the obsessive and transgressive work of a pioneer of queer video art in Quebec and Canada. Since his debut, Le voyage de l’ogre (1981), Marc Paradis (1955-2019) has interrogated notions of sexuality, the body and homosexual identity.

This bilingual publication includes three new essays by Luc Bourdon, Alexis Lemieux and Denis Vaillancourt. It also comprises the 16 videos Paradis made, including two previously unseen works, Ecce Omo and Marrakech. A rich selection of previously unseen personal documents is also presented, including notebooks, scripts, cuttings, casting photos and research files.
