MOMENT Contemporary Art Center is pleased to present I Have Seen the Future, the first solo exhibition in Asia by Canadian photographer Ève Cadieux, on view from Friday, October 17, 2025, to Sunday, January 18, 2026.
Born in Montréal and based in Québec City, Ève Cadieux has, for over 25 years, engaged in a critical photographic practice addressing memory, material culture, and consumerism. The series I Have Seen the Future, on view in this exhibition, is one of her most emblematic and ongoing bodies of work, developed over more than a decade. Inspired by a childhood visit to the site of Expo 67 in Montréal, Cadieux has since travelled the world photographing former World’s Fair sites.
These former Expo grounds—once staged as “festivals of the future”—now take many forms: some have been repurposed for local use, others remain abandoned and decaying, and some continue to seek a renewed purpose. Regardless of their state of preservation or transformation, these sites exist in tension with the visions of “the future” once projected upon them.
In this series, Cadieux positions these World’s Fair remnants as “futures that never came to be.” Her work challenges not only the accelerating anthropocentrism and global socio-economic inequality but also calls into question the very notion of a shared human “future” as a viable ideological construct.
Through her documentation of the aftermath of events that once aspired to embody human progress and peace, Cadieux invites us to reconsider our own present—one lived among the ruins of forsaken futures.
Ève Cadieux
Born in Montreal and based in Québec City, Ève Cadieux has been engaged in a critical photographic practice for over 25 years, exploring themes of memory, materiality, and consumer culture. She received her Master’s degree in Art History from the Université de Montréal in 1999. Her ongoing series J’ai vu le futur has been exhibited in various locations—including at the Atomium in Brussels (2023–24)—and continues to evolve with the support of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).
Notable recent exhibitions include the solo show J’ai vu le futur (2023–24, Atomium, Brussels), the retrospective TOUTES CES CHOSES (2017, Centre d’exposition de l’Université de Montréal; 2019, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières), and Empreintes et dérivés (2019, Galerie•a). Her work is held in numerous public and private collections, including the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, the Musée d’art de Joliette, and the Museo de Arte Eduardo Minnicelli (Argentina). In addition to her artistic practice, Cadieux is active in education and curatorial work, and in 2021 she published her first artist monograph, Le Collectoir.
