Jana Sterbak was Canadas official representative at the 2003 Venice Biennale. Her offering at the Centre for Fine Arts will be a double multi-screen video installation. From Here To There is made up of a succession of short sequences chronicling the adventures of a young terrier, Stanley, on the banks of the St Lawrence, the gateway through which the first French explorers arrived in Canada. Denied both the usual unfolding of a story and any aesthetic choice, visitors will see life as it is experienced 30 cm above the ground, filmed by a mini-camera attached to the neck of a Jack Russell. The film is not just a voyage in space, from Canada to Venice, but also a journey through time, combined with a homage to the history of the cinema. Paradox often plays a role in Sterbaks work: to this spontaneous, even playful lightness, she intends adding a more sombre, serious element for the Brussels exhibition, evoking the decrepitude of the dead city of Venice.
