Created in the context of isolation imposed by the pandemic, the visual and virtual essay Tout t’empêche, posted on Instagram, is a well-thought-out project, resonating with the reality of the health crisis and the food autonomy movement. Through a series of images of harvested flowers, fruits, and vegetables, Sara A. Tremblay displays her daily life on a farm in the Orford region. In the view of Paule Mackrous, the work forms a “ritual,” the scope of which goes beyond intimacy, by highlighting an ecosystem of light, wind, insects, nocturnal animals, and more. “A counterweight is thus offered to both the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19, such as anosmia (loss of the senses of small and taste), physical distancing, and the requirement to touch nothing – effects that prevent us from experiencing all the sensory dimensions of the world.”
