Hugo Cantin

Montreal-based artist Hugo Cantin transforms vintage 16mm film into luminous, linear-patterned collages. By carefully selecting and splicing found footage, he reimagines narratives through color and composition. Encased in handmade LED lightboxes, his works invite an intimate viewing experience—shifting from abstract patterns to hundreds of tiny images upon closer inspection. Blending nostalgia and reinvention, Cantin preserves the past while offering a new cinematic perspective.
