Photo-based visual artist Samuel Choisy's Echoes is an ongoing series that approaches photography as performance art. Minimalist, vibrantly-coloured shapes cut from lighting gels and paper are hung like a kinetic mobile, and then photographed while Choisy slowly dances around the subject with his camera. Hand held and set on long exposures, this time-based creative process presents a visual recording of a choreographed or improvised situation, and is the first chapter of a broader body of research based on the idea of an inner landscape. Born in France, Choisy received a DNAP from l'École de l'Image d'Angoulême (1999) and a DNSEP from l'École des Beaux-Arts de Nantes (2001). He is the recipient of numerous grants from the Ontario Arts Council and he currently lives and works in Toronto. 

Echoes is an ongoing photographic series beginning in 2018. The process for this series involves creating minimalist color paper shapes, which the artist photographs while air currents slowly dance them around the artist and his camera, hand-held and set on long exposures. Like echoes of sonar fathoming the depth of an unknown yet somewhat familiar environment, the landscape-inspired forms created in these images with their different scale ratios, relay ideas of vastness, plains, cliffs, and summits.
