Solo Knight Series

“Marcel Duchamp knew the hypnotic power of the wheel. To this day, his ironic masterpiece continues to fascinate. In her most recent installations, Diane Landry uses this circular objet in her own way, rigged with plastic bags and plastic bottles, lights and mechanical objects. These pieces bring an enchantment that leads spectators to another world.” Anne Pilorget, Vie des arts n° 236 - L'hypnotisme de l'art, Montréal, 2014, p. 54-55.
