Materials such as mycelium and copper serve as metaphors for memory and the invisible networks connecting all forms of life. ![Visitor seated on green carpet facing Patrick Bérubé’s LED installation with blue grids and blurred lights at Plein Sud.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/10/patrick-berube-ainsi-de-suite-plein-sud-longueuil-2026-installation-04.webp) Patrick Bérubé, Ainsi de Suite… “And” So Forth…, installation view, Plein Sud Art Center, Longueuil, 2026\.

If the previous shows sought to relearn how to inhabit our environment and reconnect with sensory experience and presence in the world, this new installation views the present as a stratum of geological time, a fragment embedded in a broader continuity where evolution, memory, and transformation intertwine. Layered sculptures of copper and mycelium thus emerge as witnesses to this world in transition. An AI-generated video, depicting a tracking shot through a forest and displayed on a massive, translucent metallic LED screen, powerfully highlights the boundaries between the real and the virtual. ![Patrick Bérubé at Plein Sud, Longueuil.

On the floor, a green carpet evokes grass and natural landscapes, but also the "green screens" used in cinema and photography for compositing computer-generated imagery. This setup opens up a space for reflection on concepts and beliefs regarding figure and ground, simulation, and perception, echoing the new virtual realities that are progressively redefining our experience of the world. At once organic and technological, the works examine how networks - natural, digital, and social - reconfigure our relationship with the ecosystem, time, and memory. ![Patrick Bérubé at Plein Sud, Longueuil.

Echoing these systems, this final chapter of the trilogy invites us to imagine, speculate, and anticipate, not through a linear logic of progress, but through a cyclical and fluid vision of time, where the future is rooted in the past and the present, constantly regenerating through contact with the forces of the living world. ![Patrick Bérubé at Plein Sud, Longueuil.
