Narrative drives Melanie Perreault’s immersive and site-specific installations in which the artist performs her characters in their natural environments. In her latest installation at AC, Perreault creates a world where a girl surrounds herself with books and encyclopedias, reading all day in the hopes of learning everything there is to know.
