The C3A presents Passing Through. Leonard Cohen In Performance, an immersive video installation that celebrates Leonard Cohen's singular voice, his music, his charismatic persona, and his inimitable stage presence. Drawing on a vast archive of audiovisual material, George Fok pays tribute to Cohen's monumental, five- decade- long career as a singer/ songwriter and performer. This composite portrait of Cohen recalls and reconstructs various pivotal stages in his career- from the early years in bohemian 1960s Montreal to his later life, when he was recognized as a global cultural icon. Visitors experience an extraordinary time- travel journey through a collage of collective memories, musical moments, and emotions that have enchanted generations of fans around the world.

George Fok is a media artist and creative synthesist with transdisciplinary practice. Based in Montreal, his oeuvre explores the intersection of immersive experience, speculative fiction and aesthetic consciousness, with the objective of re-enchanting the homogenized and rambunctious world of modernity. George Fok's work has appeared in museums, immersive shows as well as documentary and Hollywood films. His work has exhibited in global art institutions such as Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, GL Strand & Nikolaj Kunsthal in Copenhagen, and The Jewish Museum of New York. A firm believer in redefining creativity through collaborations, George frequently works in conjunction with other emerging and established talents such as choreographers, musicians, and fashion designers. For the past decade, he's been the principal creative director of Phi Centre, an arts and culture organization in Montreal.

Commissioned by the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.
