The Steam Bath (L'Étuve)

Olivia Boudreau

NO FOUNDATION, Toronto, Ontario

2014

In The Steam Bath, a video installation by Olivia Boudreau, women appear and disappear through dissolving curtains of steam. Old and young, the women lie back, slouch, and sit on sauna benches. Within this life-size frame of blue-tiled walls, Boudreau lulls us towards a sentient experience of an intimate interior.
