and consisted of large-scale photographic prints of a woman displaying sexually evocative facial expressions.
Over time, Cadieux’s work has shifted to integrating video and audio content, such as her Broken Memory, installed at Galerie Rene Blouin, Montreal, in the fall of 2005. The piece employed glass sculpture representative of the human body and a recorded reading of a 17th Century poem by Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz.
A notable video work by Cadieux was included as the inaugural piece of the 2002 The 59th Minute: Video Art on the Times Square Astrovision, an undertaking by Creative Time and Panasonic wherein the 59th minute of each hour of the day saw an artistic image in place of regular programming. Cadieux’s Portrait celebrated the regeneration and renewal of spring, featuring footage of a solitary tree, a lonely survivor of the 1998 ice storm in Montreal.
