什么是艺术？它从何而来？它如何帮助世界？尽管存在不确定性，逆境和失败，艺术家们还能继续前进的是什么？
艺术家Laramée利用自己的作品，通过他“书籍美化”的故事，将试图把"艺术是什么"还原给我们。在35年的实践中，跨学科的艺术家GuyLaramée创作了各种各样的学科，包括戏剧创作和导演、当代音乐作曲、乐器设计、建筑、歌唱、视频、舞台布景、雕塑、装置、绘画和文学。
他获得了30多项艺术奖学金，并因音乐创作而获得加拿大理事会的Joseph S. Stauffer奖。他的作品曾在美国，欧洲，日本和拉丁美洲展出。

从90年代末到21世纪初，Laramée意识到视觉艺术是他可以更容易地探索他对意识模式的长期兴趣的地方。民族学研究帮助他完善了艺术条件的人类学，从中出现了他的“Biblios”项目，随后他的“书籍雕塑”为他赢得了国际认可。他的书籍雕塑现在在美国博物馆中被广泛收藏，并收录于许多著名的出版物中。

他的艺术实践的核心是追求超越。
他的雕刻书籍雕塑意在自然世界的背景下探索人类文化的侵蚀和无常。他的雕塑激发我们对分析未知领域直觉的探索，遵循神秘“未知之云”的探究。
“我作为艺术研究者，不仅仅是'我们在想什么'，而是'我们在思考什么'，”Laramée写道。 “所以我用书来雕刻风景，画出浪漫的风景画。使已废弃被人遗忘的知识书籍回归到它们的本质：山脉。山脉被自然历练侵蚀得久了，则变成了山丘。后经地壳变动等自然因素平并成为貌似什么也事情也没发生的田野。成堆的、过时的百科全书回归到那些不需要诉说什么的作品，很简单这就是我想要的。”

Laramée拥有人类学知识背景，几十年来一直从事艺术，从音乐创作到戏剧再到视频作品，但最近他的雕塑作为主要探究方向，引起了国际艺术界的关注。 他的作品曾出现在许多博物馆、艺术馆中，并多次进行巡展。如魁北克文明博物馆，北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿卡梅伦艺术博物馆，华盛顿州贝尔维尤贝尔维尤艺术博物馆的展览中。里士满大学的博物馆和意大利波代诺内的Pordenonelegge Book Festival等。
他的作品可以在世界各地的公共和私人收藏中找到，包括耶鲁大学的Allan Chasanoff收藏馆，魁北克国家图书馆，意大利博尔扎诺的梅斯纳山博物馆，魁北克国家艺术博物馆以及缅因州鲍登学院和密歇根州立大学的特别收藏。

The Web
他总用解构建筑的方式在还原他所欣赏的美景，每一件作品就如同身临其境一般有着不可描述的视觉体验。丰富的几何架构概括形式让他的书籍雕刻作品贴上了属于他的专属标签。
“随着文化的消失，一些人流离失所，遭到破坏。我们现在被告知，纸质书注定会消亡。有人可能会问，那又怎样?我们真的相信'新技术'会改变我们的生存困境，改变我们的人类状况吗?即使我们可以改变地球上所有书籍的内容，这会改变分析知识对直觉知识的支配吗?是什么让我们坚持抓住，把经验的流动转化为概念?”
“我的作品无论是3D还是绘画，都源于这样一个想法：终极的知识很可能是一种侵蚀，而不是积累。我的一篇文章的题目是‘所有的想法看起来都一样’。当代艺术似乎已经忘记了智力是有外表的。我想检验思考，不仅是“我们在想什么”，还有‘我们在想什么’。
所以我从书中雕刻风景，我画浪漫的风景。一座座废弃的知识之山回归到它们的本来面目：山。它们侵蚀得更厉害，变成了小山。然后它们变平，变成了显然什么都没有发生的领域。一堆堆过时的百科全书回到了不需要说什么，只要简单地说出来就可以了。雾和云抹去了我们所知道的一切，我们所认为的一切。”
