Video Project In Vancouver Give The Public Some Warnings Against Fire
Video project “Fire With Fire”in Vancouver, Canada, is created by Isabelle Hayeur and the Montreal-based artist.The project consists of 3 blu-ray players and video projectors, stimulating a fire in a four-storey heritage building in the downtown eastside.

The video installation Fire with Fire recalls this troubled period of Vancouver’s history.” Video from here
