Patrick Bernatchez <i>I Feel Cold Today</i> 2007 Film still

From the post-apocalyptic scene of a empty office space filling with snow to a circling view of a seemingly unconcerned man sitting in a car slowing filling with water, the work of Montreal artist Patrick Bernatchez—which spans painting, drawing, video, photography and installation—offers an eerie vision of death, decay and rebirth as played out in the cold reality of an industrial society. Bernatchez represents the region of Quebec in the 2010 Sobey Art Award.
