Ted Hiebert

Les Revenants is a thematic exhibition that brings spirit photography – pictures of invisible beings – into contemporary art.

In Chimeras (2003-4) Ted Hiebert’s body, covered in glow-in-the-dark paint, is the only source of light. In the company of other species, he mutates in a ghostly manner.

Astman, Hiebert, Jolly, and Stephenson suggest that there are unseen forces sustained by hopes and beliefs which can be documented photographically.

Ted Hiebert has exhibited his work in public galleries and artist-run centres across Canada, including the Art Gallery of Nanaimo, BC; Forest City Gallery, london, Ontario; Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, Penticton, BC; La Galerie Sans Nom, Moncton, NB; and Harcourt House, Edmonton. His published writings include “Hallucinations of Invisibility : From Silence to Delirium” (Ctheory 26 :1) and “Becoming Carnival : Performaing a Postmodern Identity” (Performance Research 8 :3). Hiebert is the editorial assistant for Ctheory, a research assistant at the Pacific Centre for Technology and Culture, and a PhD candidate in the Humanities at Concordia University. He lives in Victoria, BC.
