[English follows] Mémoires ennoyées ont été capturées à l'aide d'un échosondeur sur la Côte-Nord, à l'astroblème de Manicouagan, le plus grand cratère météorique visible de la planète. Sur le territoire du peuple Pessamiulnuat, le cratère est inondé depuis la construction du barrage Daniel-Johnson en 1969. Il a fallu 13 ans pour inonder le territoire. Une forêt sous-marine s'y trouve encore à une moyenne de 125 mètres sous le niveau d'eau du réservoir actuel. Ludovic Boney a réussi à rendre visible l'invisible grâce à un procédé ordinaire utilisé par les pêcheurs.
Présentée pour la première fois sous la forme d'une tapisserie jacquard monumentale, réalisée par le Centre des textiles contemporains de Montréal.

Ludovic Boney's images for the series Mémoires ennoyées were captured with an echo sounder on the North Shore at the Manicouagan astrobleme, the largest visible meteor crater on the planet. On the territory of the Pessamiulnuat people, the crater has been flooded since the Daniel-Johnson dam was built in 1969. It took 13 years to flood the territory. An underwater forest still stands there at an average of 125 meters below the water level of the current reservoir. Ludovic Boney has succeeded in making the invisible visible thanks to an ordinary process used by fishermen.
Presented in the form of a monumental jacquard tapestry for the first time, fabricated by le Centre des textiles contemporains de Montréal.
Ludovic Boney was born in 1981 in Wendake, a Wendat-Huron village near the city of Québec where he grew up and studied. After completing his studies in sculpture in 2002, he worked with four other artists to cofound the artistic workshop Bloc 5, where he produced his first public art projects, both solo and collaborative. His public art integration projects include works in Quebec City for the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée de la civilisation, and City Hall. Ludovic regularly participates in renowned events such as the Bonavista Biennale, the Contemporary Native Art Biennale, the Manif d’art de Québec. The Wendat Museum presented his first museum solo exhibition entitled Mémoires ennoyées in 2022. Nominated for the long list of the Sobey Award in 2017, he is also the recipient of the Reveal grant offered by the Hnatyshyn Foundation. On the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation 2024, the Quebec Battlefields Commission unveiled Ludovic Boney's major public work entitled Des perles en mémoire. In the new plaza of Anishnawbe Health Toronto’s Indigenous Hub on Cherry Street, Boney sculpture In Equilibrium features thousands of fire-coloured hanging stems under a mirrored surface, and a view to the sky. A specialist in monumental sculptures, Ludovic Boney draws his conceptual inspiration from the traditional skills of the Wendat people, who for millennia have used materials directly from the land to create diverse and colorful handicrafts.
