2025-2018 - COZIC
Feature-length documentary tracing an inspiring portrait of this avant-garde Quebec visual arts couple.
In 2003, as a young artist and curator, I invited COZIC to an event on kitsch at Joyce Yahouda Gallery. We've bounded instantly. Yvon was so warm, and Monic, so impressive, articulate, and above all: confident. I admire COZIC's work, because it's happy, often funny, playful and provocative. I wanted to highlight the story of this artistic union that emanates from the love between a woman, Monic, and a man, Yvon, fused into this COZIC identity. A contemporary fairy tale in which the princess and the prince have fun creating, together. (CBLT). In a remote country in the middle of an enchanted forest, a couple builds a total fantasy world where art merges with intimacy. Their lives are the theater of this passion. This film is an attempt to recount the alchemy of this exhilarating collaboration, a plunge into their enchanting and mysterious career. Let's celebrate the artistic diamond wedding of Monic Brassard and Yvon Cozic, and accompany them to the ultimate consecration of this retrospective at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (ED).
