Pierre Perrault / 皮埃尔·佩罗 · 1970
A Ridiculous Kind of Country
Un pays sans bon sens!
Isolated figures question Québec belonging from different positions, turning country into a problem no single representative can close. Disagreement, relay, and transformation form collective utterances directed toward a people to come.
