Summary[edit]

Description

Boulevard Robert-Bourassa, Montréal

Sculpture Acier inoxydable peint en blanc Prêt de la famille Chrétien-Desmarais à l’occasion du 375e anniversaire de la fondation de Montréal

D’un blanc éclatant, Source interpelle le regard. L’œuvre évoque une figure humaine dont les racines s’ancrent dans le sol, un abri où se réfugier. Elle fait métaphoriquement référence aux origines multiculturelles de Montréal, à sa richesse et à sa complexité. La sculpture se compose ainsi d’un arrangement de lettres issues de plusieurs alphabets : latin, grec, chinois, arabe, cyrillique, hindi, hébreu et japonais. Du haut de ses 10 mètres, la sculpture tourne son regard vers Montréal et sa montagne, mais dialogue également avec le fleuve qui est à la source de l’histoire et du développement de la ville.
